With national heath-care reform high on the list of priorities for Democrats this election year, several leading health experts suggested Monday that insurance should not be the No. 1 priority.
“What good is having everyone insured if you’re not getting the value you just said you wanted?” asked Dr. Denis Cortese, president and chief executive of the Mayo Clinic.
Cortese participated in a health and wellness roundtable discussion featuring 18 people from government and public-health sectors, including Colorado Lt. Gov. Barbara O’Brien and Denver Health CEO Dr. Patty Gabow. The forum, led by former Sen. Thomas Daschle, took place at Boettcher Hall at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, sponsored by the convention committee.
