Statement to the New President-Elect of the United States by Lloyd H. Dean, President/CEO, Catholic Healthcare West
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(Marketwire - November 5, 2008) - On behalf of Catholic Healthcare West, I
congratulate President-elect Barack Obama and look forward to the new
administration’s focus on healthcare reform.
Repairing the nation’s healthcare system must become a top priority, both
for the overall well-being of the people and for our nation’s economy. The
current system is unsustainable. Right now, 46 million people in the
country do not have healthcare insurance and are receiving their care in
the most expensive and inefficient way — by relying on hospital emergency
rooms. This cost is a huge burden on all of society. We can and must do
better.
