abstract: Last week, six major healthcare industry players got together and sent a letter to President Barack Obama on health reform. The initiatives outlined could curb healthcare spending by $1 trillion to $1.7 trillion during the next decade. Regarding the projections, Raymond Gibbons, left, from the Mayo Clinic, says, "I would express concern as to whether they are bold enough and provide enough detail."
