We call upon the federal government to take action to assure adequate and affordable accessible health care coverage for all individuals and families.
We seek a national health care plan that serves everyone living in the United States. Health care should not be employment dependent and should not exclude anyone with prior medical conditions.
We seek a health care plan that provides comprehensive benefits for the whole population through:
III. Choice of Health Care Providers
We seek a national health care plan that would permit individuals to exercise choice in the selection of physicians and other certified health care providers.
We seek a universal access national health plan that would provide services based on the principles of equity, efficiency and quality of output. The process of financing health care should be equitable, cost effective, easy to administer and to understand.
We seek a national health care plan that provides appropriate discipline for unprofessional acts by medical providers and provides appropriate recompense for injured patients.
We seek a national health care plan that provides for the continuing education and training of health care workers.
The plan must provide for just compensation for all workers at all levels of the health care system.
VII. Innovation and Research
We seek a national health care plan that promotes effective and safe innovation and research in medical techniques, research on the delivery of health services, and research on health practices of individuals and families. Health research should include full study of all segments of the population including the particular health problems associated with a given group.
