The treatment plan for addressing the challenges in the US healthcare system offers a framework for achieving the goal of optimal health care outcome. It builds on a vision of a desired health care system and provides an activist agenda that addresses the identified problems and powerful barriers that have stymied prior efforts at reform and have created the crisis in health care that confronts us. It will highlight the policy elements of the recently passed ACA and upheld by the supreme court. Together we can solve the health care problems and build a system that is uniquely American and that we can be proud of. The format for the treatment plan will allow us to engage in a healthy deliberative political process toward our goals.
Featuring more than 200 examples of the century's best political art, a new history of health care reform provides an entertaining review of 100 years of partisan wrangling over medical insurance -- from Theodore Roosevelt's support for protection from the "hazards of sickness" in 1912 to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act in 2012.
We start with a conversation about the vision of healthcare and our nation. Having a clear and agreed upon vision of healthcare moves the conversation from short term to long term thinking and focuses the debate on how to achieve the vision. We incorporate these goals into our vision of patient-focused optimal health care. We recognize that there are specific groups of people, each with its own definitions of optimal health care, with their own treatment strategies and priorities. We have divided our efforts into the following categories and will provide information and tools for imagining.
