Brian Moore on Health Care
Socialist nominee for President
|
National health care system for all citizens
We call for a national health care system for all citizens in the country. Health care is a right, not a privilege, and all peoples residing in the
United States should have equal access to a comprehensive plan of medical, dental and mental health services. The national system should be administered through the federal government, as Medicare, Medicaid and the
Veterans health care system is now done. Health care savings will also be greatly achieved through a more efficient system based on preventive medicine and a financial incentive to providers to keep consumers healthy, well and out of the hospital.
In addition, 1600 for-profit health insurance companies will be eliminated, and their exorbitant 35% administrative costs for profits, paperwork, marketing and duplication of services.
