LuftCambridge, Mass. Harvard University Press20081 online resource (337 p.) Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-674-03210-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Build on what you've got, but recognize real-world constraints -- Overview of a restructured health care system -- Covering the cost of care: rethinking health insurance -- Organizing care and paying providers -- Choices: harnessing data to inform decisions -- Financing SecureChoice -- Malpractice, pharmaceuticals, medical education, and prevention -- How SecureChoice would work for patients and physicians -- Getting there: policy choices, implementation, and transition.Proposals to reform the health care system typically focus on either increasing private insurance or expanding government-sponsored plans. Guaranteeing that everyone is insured, however, does not create a system with the quality of care patients want, the flexibility clinicians need, and the internal dynamics to continually improve the value of health care. Luft presents a comprehensive new proposal, SecureChoice, which does all that while providing affordable health insurance for every American.Health care reformUnited StatesMedical policyUnited StatesHealth planningUnited StatesHealth insuranceUnited StatesElectronic books.Health care reformMedical policyHealth planningHealth insurance362.1/04250973Luft Harold S987954MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455402803321Total cure2259074UNINA
