Healthcare, Guaranteed A Simple, Secure Solution for America

In the United States, the cost of healthcare has skyrocketed to $2.1 trillion per year. Despite the fantastic sums of money spent, America has mediocre health outcomes and 47 million people without any form of health insurance. With an inefficient and fiscally unsustainable healthcare system, we are in desperate need of lasting solutions. To date, most healthcare reforms have simply ameliorated the fragmented system of care. In Healthcare, Guaranteed, Ezekiel Emanuel proposes a straightforward plan to save America from its healthcare crisis, while enhancing our options, improving quality, and revitalizing our economy. With The Guaranteed Healthcare Access Plan, Emanuel offers up a comprehensive reform plan that insures coverage for all Americans. By replacing employer healthcare with an affordable standard set of benefits for each individual, Americans would experience increased wages and job flexibility. With improved delivery of care and reliable oversight, the Guaranteed Healthcare Access Plan will save money, while providing superior quality and coordinated care. Long overdue, Healthcare, Guaranteed offers us the tools necessary to revitalize our healthcare system for the benefit of all. Book jacket.
