Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI)

1. Do you feel it is better to allow individuals the freedom to choose any type of  (or no) health insurance coverage available to them or to increase government involvement in a person’s/family’s healthcare via mandates, such as the ACA and/or the government as a single insurer for all residents.  Why?

2. Discuss the mission of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI).

3.  If you could reform the malpractice or tort laws, what types of changes would you make? When do you feel it is   appropriate for someone to claim damages from medical procedures or treatment? Do you feel there should be a cap on  the payments, and if so, how would you decide what that cap would be? What are all the different costs involved in medical malpractice suites? Is it easier to talk about tort reform than to actually try to define it?

4.  Based in your windshield survey and/or community assessment, did you find any environmental hazards while doing the  assessment.   If yes, What was the origin of the hazards? How could they be addressed? Is/was the community doing   anything to deal with the problems?
