What do you mean by a “Universal access Health Care Delivery and Single Payor Financing System for the United States”?
A Universal access Health Care Delivery System means that all American citizens would have equal access to health care services. Under the present delivery system only people who have health insurance have equal access to the system.A Single Payor Financing System means that there would be only one payor for health care services in the United States. Under the present health care financing system there are thousands of health insurance payors (insurers, HMOs, employers, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.). It is estimated that a one payor system could save “us nearly $250 billion a year on administration alone.”(i)The Center calls this merging of the Universal ACCESS and Single Payor concepts a Health Security Plan or American Plan.
