Feature Story 

February 19, 2008

Health Care for America

From Economic Policy Institute:

A health care plan that combines the best elements of the current employer-based system and the Medicare model would create big savings, offer more choices, and guarantee affordable coverage to all U.S. residents, according to a new cost and coverage analysis of EPI's plan by the Lewin Group, a nationally respected nonpartisan consulting firm.

Health Care for America, developed for EPI by Yale political scientist Jacob S. Hacker, would achieve these goals and maximize consumers' health care choices without unraveling existing health security, forcing individual to obtain coverage on their own, pressuring patients into health savings accounts, or using inadequate vouchers.

View a video news release on the Health Care for America plan from EPI's Agenda for Shared Prosperity.
