title: AANA testifies before PPRC on federal healthcare reform.
abstract: The AANA shares President Clinton's view that health system reform must center on increased patient access to care, the need for care to be provided in a cost-effective manner, and that quality of care should not be diminished. The AANA believes that CRNAs can play a critical role in health system reform because for more than a century they have provided a model of how patients can have access to high quality, cost-effective health services, specifically anesthesia services.
