AARP Supports Good CER
Recently the AARP announced its support of S. 1213, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Act – the same Senate CER bill that we at PIPC support.
From the AARP letter to Sens. Baucus and Conrad:
“[S. 1213] would create an independent Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and provide increased, stable funding to maintain our investment in research comparing the effectiveness of various treatments for given conditions.”
“AARP strongly believes that development of more scientifically valid, objective information comparing treatment options is a fundamental building block for health care reform.”
“The independent, non-profit entity your legislation would create to conduct and disseminate this research includes broad stakeholder input to set priorities and an transparent process – essential features for advancing this work.”
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
