Pushing a health care reform bill through Congress this summer would be a mistake, AWB President Don Brunell writes in his column this week.
President Obama wants lawmakers to rush legislation, but the goal should be to carefully consider reform Brunell writes.
"Here is what the President and Congress should do," he writes. "First, slow down. Thoroughly look at what is working and what is not. Understand the numbers behind America's 45.7 million uninsured."
And modeling America's health care system on Canada's or England's isn't a good idea, either, Brunell says.
In this blog post, he cites Safeway as an example of an employer addressing health care and its costs in an effective way.
