Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Single-Payer Health Care Systems; Issues and Options: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Labor of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:30 p.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Howard M. Metzenbaum (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Metzenbaum, Harkin, Wellstone, and Jeffords. Senator Metzenbaum. The hearing will come to order. Good afternoon. Today, the subcommittee will hear testimony from American and Canadian doctors and health care experts who believe the United States would benefit by adopting a single-payer health care system. We are at an historic moment in the United States. After almost a century of thwarted attempts at reform, the United States finally is on the verge of adopting a comprehensive health care system. Never before have we had a President and First Lady as committed to solving the riddle of how to provide affordable health care to every American. I must say that never before have we had a President and First Lady, nor even a President alone, who knew as much about a subject that was before the Congress as the President and the First Lady do. They have truly, really involved themselves totally on this issue. In many ways, the debate has already been won. An overwhelming majority of Americans support comprehensive health care reform and agree on the fundamental elements of reform. There is agreement that we need a universal system so that all Americans, young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick, will have access to health care. We agree that everyone should be covered by an adequate level of health care benefits - hospital care, physician care, prevention, mental health benefits, prescription drugs, and long-term care. We agree that individuals should be able to choose their own doctors, and finally we agree that we must cut the fat out of our system and get our spending under control. Now, the real debate, then, is how do we redesign our system to achieve these objectives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
