White House takes position on Citizens Health Care Working Group recommendations

Modern Healthcare.com is reporting that the White House has rejected the "key ideas" of the Congressionally mandated Citizens’ Health Care Working Group: "In written comments to Congress and to the group, administration officials said that 'the working group chose an approach based on mandates and government intervention rather than an approach emphasizing consumer choice and options. In reviewing the working group’s report, we have major concerns with some of the recommendations.'"
