There's something missing, argues legal reform advocate and Public Agenda board member Philip K. Howard, when it comes to the current effort at health care reform. Speaking at our Maxwell School/Public Agenda Policy Breakfast, and again in an op ed piece for the New York Daily News, Howard argues that the only way America can afford universal care is to focus public resources by containing costs. Howard has some experience in innovations to reduce one of those costs, as founder of Common Good, a legal reform coalition which is involved in a test of arbitration-based health courts to replace the current malpractice system.
