The House of Representatives passed a healthcare bill that is loaded with compromise, a product of great inefficiency, and as many suggest, Republicans and Democrats, the greatest compromise is that the Democratic process itself failed to give legislators and the public time to evaluate the product before the vote.

I want the government to produce a regulatory environment that will 1) reduce the cost of healthcare, 2) sustain the quality of healthcare, and 3) insure the uninsured with affordable alternatives. That is the outcome for which specific metrics should be visible. They are not.

A process that fails to engineer the right outcomes and performance metrics is failed from the start. A president whose management approach fails to address this requirement will not succeed no matter the congress produces a legislative product or not. The legislative products are failed because the process is failed.

Presidential leadership is required that addresses outcomes, the process, and the executive management approach to produce essential outcomes. Until the President understands this, and acts upon it, it is unlikely that any of his goals will be met.
