TALKNG ABOUT SINGLE PAYER: Health Care Equality for America
New Book Asserts that Single Payer Health Care Will Cover All and Save Money
Challenging the shower of criticism coming from all but one of the presidential candidates, a book just released by a Johns Hopkins transplant surgeon asserts that a single payer health care system will cover everyone, improve quality and actually save most taxpayers money. In Talking About SINGLE PAYER: Health Care Equality for America, Dr. James F. Burdick, a frequent contributor of op ed pieces on health care reform to the Baltimore Sun and former Director of the Division of Transplantation in the Department of Health and Human Services, addresses the near absence of realistic attention to a single payer system in the U.S. in this election year.
Dr. Burdick asserts: "My common sense has been buried in expensive campaign advertising that deliberately obscures the actual present reality and clouds future possibilities." The game-changing argument in Dr. Burdick's book is that no one can honestly claim that higher costs will result for most Americans in a single payer system, or that it is too complex, or that no one believes it could work.
