Four experts look at technology under Clinton-style reform
Article Abstract:
Four industry experts discuss the impact of President-elect Clinton's proposed health care reform on medical technology. The experts voice several concerns. They believe that Clinton will attempt to eliminate the duplication of expensive services such as bone marrow transplants and monitor the use of high technology. One radiologist believes that national care will actually increase the number of high tech procedures because it will include x-rays and other screening procedures. Another is optimistic that Clinton's policies will help streamline and computerize medical records.
