Approximately fifty million people in the United States have no
health insurance. Dr. Charles Chen, an obstetrician and
gynecologist for almost thirty years, agrees with many people in
this country that health insurance should cover every citizen, not
just those who can afford to pay the rates.
"A Plan for a Single Payer Health Care System" takes an in-depth
look at every aspect of our current health care system and provides
a strategic plan, along with innovative solutions for reforming the
system.
In an easy-to-understand format, Dr. Chen provides clear
definitions and the pros and cons of utilizing three potential
health care systems. Dr. Chen presents the results from his
research on several international health care systems and then
proposes the best solution for America. He recommends several
concrete ideas, including establishing a Department of the National
Health Care System, requesting the support of large corporations
who pay high medical premiums for employees, and allowing uninsured
citizens to purchase a low-cost health plan from the
government.
The ability to receive medical treatment should be a basic human
right. Dr. Chen's plan for improvement helps shine a bright light
on a situation that has quickly become critical for this country.
His plan will ultimately help ensure that all citizens have access
to health insurance.
