The insurance industry plays a huge role in the American health care system and absorbs a significant portion of the health care dollar. A single payer system, whether it is a private company or the US government, would eliminate the complex insurance paperwork burden and free substantial funds that could be diverted to support care for the under-served. Why do you believe that so much resistance to a concept used in every other developed country has continued in the U.S.?
Homework Answers
# Because of these reasons the US does not have a single-payer system

- Longer waits for elective for elective or non-emergency procedures
- Less consumer choice than free-market

Health care planners could be more effective and efficient if they used the concept of the natural history of disease and the levels of prevention to design services that intervene at the weakest link in the chain of progression of specific diseases. Instead, most focus on high-technology solutions to preventable problems. Assess the characteristics of the medical care culture that encourage the latter approach. Hospitals and other health care institutions, whether voluntary or for-profit, need to be financially solvent to...

In the U.S., health insurance plays a major role in our healthcare system, and (not surprisingly) absorbs a big chunk of our healthcare dollars. A single payer system, either private or government run, could eliminate or reduce the complex system of traditional insurance, and could divert funds into provision of care. (A single payer system is popular in many/most of our peer countries, such as Canada, the UK, Australia, etc. Our own Medicare system is single payer, but predominantly restricted...

Once upon a time American physicians had it all. Overcoming modest beginnings, internal divisions, and myriad rivals, during the 20th century doctors in the United States achieved “professional sovereignty” (Starr 1982). They secured extraordinary levels of clinical and financial autonomy, as well as social prestige and public deference, and through the American Medical Association (AMA) exerted substantial political influence over health policy making. Organized medicine had a crucial role in shaping the major institutions of American health care, including private...
