On the recordFebruary 6, 2009
I agree that the primary focus of comparative effectiveness research should be clinical effectiveness not cost. We can all agree that the ``one size fits all'' approach is the wrong approach for the American health care system. Based on our own personal experiences we all know that what works best for one person, does not always work the same for another. I look forward to working in a bipartisan and inclusive manner to come up with prudent legislation that will not only help us realize the true potential of comparative effectiveness but also preserve patient choice and innovation--the two hallmarks of our health care system.
