Himmelstein and Others Respond to Gawande on Single Payer Health Systems
Physicians for a National Health Program [PNHP] [Opinion] Feb. 13, 2009 Excerpt: [Atul Gawande's] article is very well written, and is quite convincing to those who have not been intensively involved in reform activities and have only a limited understanding of health policy. Since it is such a impressive article it now is being circulated widely as a statement that (superficially) seems to make sense as a guideline for reform. The problem is that Atul Gawande is flat out wrong. He implies that other nations merely made adjustments in their existing systems to expand coverage to everyone. In fact, these were not simple adjustments to systems that weren't working; they were revolutionary transformations of their health care financing systems. |
