Nationalized Health Care

Paper Summary:

This paper states that it would be beneficial for the U.S. to implement a nationalized health care program. The paper reports that Navarro examines how the elimination of the cost barrier provides encouragement for individuals to seek health services. The author believes that the many factions which make-up the operation of the US health care service, such as doctors, insurance companies, hospitals and various population segments would work against the policies aimed at creating a nationalized health care program.

From the Paper:

"In the first paragraph, Navarro makes the assertion that the "Commission of Social Inequalities in Health" found that "social inequalities in the use of the Spanish National Health Service have disappeared." In other words, the variables such as: cost, access, and quality of care no longer inhibit certain sectors of the population from utilizing health care services. It is clear that within the United States certain persons are more likely to use health care services due to the ability to pay and access those resources. It is important that the U.S. looks to Spain's model as a way to decrease medical inequalities."
