national health care

Do you have health insurance? In excess of 40 million Americans are without health insurance, and millions more with the most limited of coverage. As health care premiums continue to rise, fewer and fewer Americans are able to afford the excessive annual costs. As it is, the current state of American medicine is seen by many to be more of a business than a public service.

Many Americans believe that health care is a right and not a privilege. Such Americans have organized themselves into groups and have lobbied the U.S Government to make an overhaul of the American health care system. The Government argues that such a thing as universal health care just doesn't fit within the budget, although proponents would like to see a shift in spending away from such costly sectors as the Military, defense spending and foreign aid.

One such universal health care advocate is a group known as Physicians for A National Health Program (PNHP). Their call for an overhaul of American medicine includes the following: *

  1. 1. Full coverage for everyone through a single health insurance program.
  2. Government pays hospitals & nursing homes an annual $ amount to cover all of their expenses.
  3. Capital costs funded by independent appropriations.
  4. Cover the costs of physicians & ambulatory services in 1 of 3 ways:
    • Fee-for-service payments.
    • Global budgets for hospitals & clinics that employ salaried physicians.
    • Per capital basis / capitation

  5. Funded through the same sources, but from a single pool.
  6. Work to contain costs through savings on billings & bureaucracy.
