I'd have a glass of Falanghina, a full-bodied white wine, at Fioraio Bianchi, tel: (39-02) 2901 4390, in the Brera district. It's a favorite with the fashion pack.

The reason for this ambiguity can be found in the nature of what Orszag calls the "transformational" changes. Policies in both the House and Senate versions of health reform seek nothing less than a remaking of the entire health-care industry - tying payments to outcomes, encouraging providers to work together, investing heavily in research to uncover which treatments work better than others and building a network to track the performance of individual doctors and regional health networks...
