While it appears that more and more people recognize the need to adopt some form of universal health care, most plans currently being considered still focus on private insurers.
As a proponent of universal health care, I would accept even this form of universal health care, at least as a step in the right direction.
The “Coalition to Advance Healthcare Reform” has advanced their views that are based on five principles:
(1) Use of a market-based system
(2) Individuals are required to adopt the system
(3) Subsidization of low-income persons
(4) Inclusion of incentives to promote healthy behaviors
(5) Elimination of differences in tax treatment between employer-provided and individual health insurance policies.
While this type of system seems to be overly complex, it would advance the cause.
