HealthAmerica: It's good for all of US

Executive Summary
Identification Number: EIN 91 206 5695

This proposal centralizes the financing and administration of health care at the national level while strengthening the private delivery of care at the local level. It consolidates many government healthcare programs and employer programs and removes much of the healthcare burden from the states. Utilizing multiple sources of funding including employment taxes and an income tax component, the HealthAmerica plan covers a broad array of services for all legal residents.

Healthcare delivery is strengthened in three main ways:

1. Coordinated care across the full-spectrum of services is required and rewarded by the structure.
2. Evidence-based medicine and shared-decision making with patients is built in.
3. Comprehensive and near-universal coverage of individuals produces an economy of scale for innovation, cost reduction on a per capita basis, and quality improvements.

HealthAmerica builds upon the successes of the Medicare Program, improves it, and expands it to all Americans. The plan diminishes health care administrative redundancy at the federal level, simplifies the multiple insurers for patients and providers of healthcare, and allows employer and employee groups to move beyond the escalating battles over healthcare benefits. Lastly, it will increase consumer confidence for both young and old, resulting in increased productivity for our nation and the quality of each of our lives and our families' lives.
