Public Opinion is often a mish-mash of misconceptions and myths..
(…and then there is Fox News)

What is Wrong with our System?
We spend far more money than any other country on health care...
…but get far fewer benefits, far worse health outcomes, and far less patient satisfaction.

•Since everyone is covered in this system, there are no:
--“Pre-existing conditions”--“loss of coverage” e.g., by change of job, moving--and multiple other ills of the present system

We do have “rationing” already. We only recognize them differently, such as by limited access to healthcare, denials by insurance companies, high cost
![Page 44: Healthcare Presentation - IAFPE Sep 12 2009](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b9d1734a79597b1c8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Access is already restricted!
1 of 5 Americans postponed getting needed health care last year
1 of 7 Americans had a problem paying for medical bills last year
1 of 10 did not get a prescription drug they needed due to cost

What are the options?
No intervention … maintain status quo Reform health care market. Expand public programs. Improve the employer approach (pay or
play). Single payer.
![Page 63: Healthcare Presentation - IAFPE Sep 12 2009](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b9d1734a79597b1c8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
The Single Payer System
![Page 64: Healthcare Presentation - IAFPE Sep 12 2009](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061219/54b9d1734a79597b1c8b45fa/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What do we get from Single-Payer?
Administrative efficiency via simplified reimbursement. Patient freedom to choose/change health care providers,
without paying more. Provider freedom to choose mode of practice (fee-for-
service, capitation, or salary). Fairer financing (lower cost to sick, poor/middle-income). Explicitness in priorities (e.g., prevention) and financing
(e.g., risk adjustment) Shared dedication to success, via universal participation.

How Does Single-Payer Do It?
Global Budgeting controls costs while leaving clinical decision-making in the hands of the patient’s chosen health care professional.
Just collects money and pays bills without needing to intrude into individual doctor-patient relationships to make a profit.
That is, review the flow of healthcare dollars, but leave HEALTHCARE alone!
• Eliminates hidden sources of waste and profiteering

Who Benefits from the Single Payer System?

And do all providers who are not paidfor their services, but look towards
their “HMO” kickbacks
