Biden cheers deal with hospitals on health care reform!!!

Today the vice president Joe Biden announced today that he has struck a deal with hospitals to help fund the health care reform. The VP has said that hospitals have pledged to contribute $155 billion in medicaid and medicare savings in the next decade. Biden said that hospitals have acknowledged that significant health care savings can be achieved by improving efficiencies. Biden was also joined by the Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and representatives of the hospital industry. This hospital deal follows Obama's announcement last month with agreement that was reached with the nation's pharmaceutical industry to cut drug costs for elderly Americans, saying it is an example of the kind of compromise required for successful national health care reform. I think that this a good idea because this will help people who have little to no health care. This will help people that have a hard time paying for medicine and their medical supplies some help. There are too many people in this country that have either no coverage or too little coverage.
