Okay , I know I have posted this plan on this forum at least 3 times now. But its also apparent people like WOW don't read anything but the cartoons of the streamer line across the bottom of Fox news.
So here is the plan again.
Physicians for a National Health Program - Health Care is a Human Right
Put out by the Physicians For National health care clear back in the 80"s .
Physicians for a National Health Program is a non-profit research and education organization of 15,000 physicians, medical students and health professionals who support single-payer national health insurance.
They call for a single payers system , not unlike the one in England. Ran by the states governed by a citizens board in each state elected to four year terms.
Read the link for lots of detail as well as research by all the top medical colleges and Universities. JAPA is behind this plan and so is every doctor in my family.
I will give you a taste of the plan. The rest can be found at the web site.
Our Mission: Single-Payer National Health Insurance
Greg Silver, MD (Fl.)The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on health care, $7,129 per capita. Yet our system performs poorly in comparison and still leaves 47 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered.
This is because private insurance bureaucracy and paperwork consume one-third (31 percent) of every health care dollar. Streamlining payment through a single nonprofit payer would save more than $350 billion per year, enough to provide comprehensive, high-quality coverage for all Americans.
Now for the non readers like wow , we can expect them to keep spouting stupidity.
But for people like Teak who appear to be a little smarter , you have no excuse to not read this proposal and give us your thoughts on why it wouldn't work better than what we have now.
I'll wait.
