A Couple Comments

"Comparative effectiveness (CE) is a tool that tells doctors what is most likely to work, based on hard data, knowledge they can override if they are willing to defend their decision. What CE thinks works changes as the data changes."

If you doctor isn't currenty suggesting the most likely solution to your issue, you need a new doctor, not a new tool to tell him what he should already be doing.

"It?s also true that Europeans live just as long as we do while paying 50-67% of what we pay for health care."

Does that include the significantly higher taxes they pay?

BTW, I'm sure the "idiots" at Heritage know quite a bit more then you could ever hope to know about this and many other topics. Name calling NEVER helps your arguement.
