Cost control, universal care impossible without single-payer health system: Harvard physician | Physicians for a National Health Program
Cost control, universal care impossible without single-payer health system: Harvard physician | Physicians for a National Health Program
"Dr. David Himmelstein, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a primary care doctor at Cambridge Hospital in Cambridge, Mass., told the House Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions that only a major overhaul of the existing system, one which replaces the wasteful, for-profit, private insurance industry with a publicly financed, single-payer program similar to Medicare, can rein in costs while guaranteeing universal, comprehensive coverage."

"With health reform in Massachusetts sailing through choppy waters, Governor Deval Patrick is trying to keep it afloat by throwing away the lifeboats — public hospitals and clinics."

Propaganda And Prejudice Distort The Health Reform Debate | Physicians for a National Health Program
Propaganda And Prejudice Distort The Health Reform Debate | Physicians for a National Health Program Medicare-for-all would save hundreds of billions every year. Private insurers expend enormous sums for insurer commissions, advertising, Wall-Street-scale executive compensation, and profits. In contrast, Medicare spends little or nothing on these unnecessary, unproductive activities. Health care providers and private plans struggle with thousands of different billing schedules. As the New York Times reported: "The average provider -- doctors or hospitals -- has between 5 and 100 reimbursement rates for the same procedure. . . . A hospital chain may have 150 rates for the same procedure."
U.S. trails rest of world in health care | Physicians for a National Health Program
U.S. trails rest of world in health care | Physicians for a National Health Program Let me begin by stating that I believe that neither the Canadian nor the U.S. health-care system is perfect, and both could be improved. Some Canadians in need of elective procedures are said to have to wait to see a specialist for their medical conditions in Canada. I, personally, had an appointment last week with a specialist here whom I had been waiting 16 weeks to see, because he is one of a small group of providers “approved” by my insurance. Waits can occur on either side of the border.
But my wait had an end to it. Some 48 million people will have no end to medical problems they are experiencing. Imagine having a migraine that had no end to it or a painful urological condition that continued indefinitely. Imagine if you had a suspicious mole and no way to know if it was cancer or not. That is the state of 48 million Americans, through no fault of their own.

Medicare for All: Now is the Time | Physicians for a National Health Program
Medicare for All: Now is the Time | Physicians for a National Health Program President Barack Obama has said repeatedly that he wants “ideas that work.” In spite of this, leading Democrats are working hard on plans for health care reform that will fail.

Physicians for a National Health Program | Quote of the Day
Physicians for a National Health Program | Quote of the Day PNHP consists of over 16,000 physicians and other health professionals who have been leaders, locally and nationally, for a publicly funded and administered single payer health system, organized to address the needs of patients rather than those of stockholders and insurance companies. Our allies include the Ohio AFL-CIO, the California Nurses Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Medical Student Association, the Grey Panthers, and the majority of Americans who support an improved and expanded Medicare for all.
