(2003-05-21) — Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-CT, gave new energy to his presidential campaign today by proposing a $150 billion federal agency to cut government bureaucracy in health care.
Aides to the Senator said his proposed American Center for Cures would identify promising new treatments and break down bureaucratic barriers faced by small companies in drug development.
In making his announcement, Sen. Lieberman ridiculed a competing proposal by Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-MO, as another in a line of “big-spending Democratic ideas of the past.”
