Not very long ago, an individual would visit a doctor to be treated for an illness that could not be \"cured\" by one of Grandma's \"recipes.\" Whether it was a sore throat, earache, or digestive pain, Grandma usually had some homespun \"medicine\" to deal with a common health issue. And if Grandma's \"medicine chest\" was not able to deal with a family member's illness, a neighborhood doctor was usually available to treat working families at his office, or he would make a house call for a reasonable fee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFast-forward to today. Is the current system of providing medical care, namely, through employer-based insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare, the optimal methods to provide high-quality, low-cost care to all Americans?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe answer is a resounding no.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUniversal Medical Care from Conception to End of Life: The Case for a Single-Payer System explains why the current system of employer-based insurance and government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare are financially untenable and yields less than optimal outcomes for patients. Yet there are calls for more top-down approaches to medical care, most notably by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has campaigned for the presidency on a Medicare for All program, essentially putting all Americans under one medical umbrella, where the government would set all the parameters for medical care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder the individual single-payer system outlined in Sabrin's manifesto, every American adult would be in charge of his or her medical coverage. There would be no more conflicts regarding insurance companies or the government paying for abortion, contraception, and other controversial medical procedures and medications. In a free market, every adult--the single payer--would pay for what he\/she needs to achieve optimal health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14899587\"\u003eMurray Sabrin \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Page Publishing, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662433368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662433360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MED\"\u003eMedical\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MED035000\"\u003eHealth Care Delivery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BUS\"\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BUS033040\"\u003eInsurance | Health\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Page Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43845589926027,"sku":"9781662433368","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_f7e69501-2ddf-406f-8b02-806e2a8fcfdf.jpg?v=1755885912","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/universal-medical-care-from-conception-to-end-of-life-the-case-for-a-single-payer-system-9781662433368","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
