dc.description.abstract | Richard Lamm is an eloquent and insistent advocate for healthcare
reform. In his paper, he argues that if reform is to be effective, a radical
metamorphosis in the values underlying our present system must take place.
"New realities" have made the "old values" unsustainable. Unless they are
replaced by "new values," we face a future of disastrous overspending, gross
inequities in accessibility, poorer health for many, and more expensive
dying....Lamm's "new" values are those espoused in whole or in part by most
advocates of reform. Few would argue, however, with Lamm's rhetorical fervor,
self-assurance, hyperbole, and polemic. These rhetorical devices serve well to
shake us out of our lethargy. In the end, this may well be his major
contribution. But, once awakened by the clarion's call, we are forced to
examine more carefully Lamm's reasoning, the conclusions he reaches, and the
values he promotes before we take action in so serious a matter as the
nation's healthcare. | en |
