Council For American Medical Innovation Applauds President Obama For Calling For 'Serious Investments In Science And Technology'

Medical News Today, 3/26/2009

The Council for American Medical Innovation applauds President Obama on his support for improving our education system and driving down health care costs through continued scientific and technological advancements.

In his address to the nation last night, the President said, "Now, none of us know exactly what's going to happen 6 or 8 or 10 years from now. Here's what I do know: If we don't tackle energy, if we don't improve our education system, if we don't drive down the costs of health care, if we're not making serious investments in science and technology and our infrastructure, then we won't grow 2.6 percent, we won't grow 2.2 percent. We won't grow."

The Council for American Medical Innovation, a new coalition of leaders in research, medicine, patient advocacy, academia, education, labor and business, are working in partnership to urge Congress to adopt a national policy agenda that facilitates medical innovation and discoveries in the life sciences. The Council is pleased that the President is making innovation a top priority, recognizing its direct impact on job growth, U.S. competitiveness and the health of all Americans.
