Election 2004: implications for providers.
It may be difficult to believe, but President Bush and Senator Kerry do agree on a few important issues such as the need for improved healthcare information technology. But in regard to medical liability reform, health care for small businesses, and Medicare managed care, there are significant differences between their proposals. No matter who wins the presidential election, healthcare providers are going to feel the impact-especially with more seniors in HMOs and more low-income families seeking health care.
