As your constituent, I am urging you to support a single-payer health care system to replace our private insurance based system.
It should meet the following criteria...
o Any U.S. citizen will be able to receive quality medical, dental, vision, and mental health care at a cost they can easily afford.
o The additional tax to pay for national health care would cost most Americans less than the combination of health insurance premiums and additional costs of health care treatment they now pay. That tax would be assessed using a formula that is equitable for all income levels.
o It would contain provisions to control the cost of services and prescription drugs.
o Providers would be compensated reasonably and promptly
o The plan would be economically sustainable - completely paid for by public dollars with no borrowing.

Such a health care policy would reduce national health care costs, allowing more money to be spent either benefitting U.S. citizens or paying down the national debt.
