10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
As the number of uninsured Americans reaches epic numbers, here's a concise and convincing guide that explains why national health care is the only approach that makes sense. ""Health care is not just another commodity. It is not a gift to be rationed based on the ability to pay.""--Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) The United States spends twice as much as other industrialized nations on health care, yet our system performs poorly in comparison and still leaves 46 million without health coverage and millions more inadequately covered. Imagine a health care program that is publicly funded and covers all basic medical services from doctor visits, hospitalization, and long-term care to prescription drugs, dental care, and mental health. "10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care" offers an array of powerful arguments for why and how this could become a reality. With fact-filled chapters written by leading physicians, health care professionals, policy makers, business-people, labor organizers, and others, this book shows how a national health care system is simpler, more inclusive, saves money, is good for business, will reduce health care disparities, and is a fundamental human right. In time for the 2008 elections and following on the heels of Michael Moore's "Sicko, 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care" offers powerful ammunition in favor of a fundamental change to American health care--and shows how we really can develop a comprehensive national health program for the United States. - With contributions from: - Dr. Olveen Carrasquillo, Columbia College of - Physicians and Surgeons- Rose Ann DeMoro, California Nurses Association- Dr.Claudia Fegan, Former President, Physicians for a National Health Program- Dr. Oliver Fein, Weill Medical College, Cornell University- Leo Gerard, International President, United Steelworkers- Joanne Landy, NY Metro Physicians for a National Health Program- Dr. Leonard Rodberg, Queens College, CUNY- Dr. Jaime Torres, Latinos for National Health Insurance- Nathan Wilkes, Father- Rev.
