The Citizens Health Care Working Group, which Congress established to make health care reform proposals, has transmitted its final report to the President. The Group made six recommendations:

Recommendation 1: Establish Public Policy that All Americans Have Affordable Health Care
Recommendation 2: Guarantee Financial Protection Against Very High Health Care Costs
Recommendation 3: Foster Innovative Integrated Community Health Networks
Recommendation 4: Define Core Benefits and Services for All Americans
Recommendation 5: Promote Efforts to Improve Quality of Care and Efficiency
Recommendation 6: Fundamentally Restructure the Way End-of-Life Services are Financed and Provided

The Galen Institute was not too pleased with the report.
