Cure for health care ills no easy fix, doctors say

Willson, Cunningham and Powell Willson, Cunningham and Powell
GREENVILLE, N.C. (11/18/09) — The U.S. health care system needs a lot of work, but no one bill before Congress has all the answers. That was the message from a pair of Brody School of Medicine faculty members who discussed federal health care reform measures Tuesday night.

Dr. Charles Willson, clinical professor of pediatrics and chair of the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund Commission; and Dr. Stephen Powell, ECU professor of cardiovascular sciences and a vascular surgeon, took opposing viewpoints on some topics but agreed on several others during a health care reform debate organized by medical students.
