Health For Life

Better Health, Better Health Care


Health Coverage for All ...
Paid for by All
 
 

Health coverage for all is a shared responsibility. And everyone – individuals, business, insurers and governments – must play a role in both expanding and paying for coverage.

Goals 
  • Health coverage for all
  • Increase access to care for all
  • Increase insurance efficiency
  • Protect against high cost health events
  • Reduce differences in care by race, ethnicity and other characteristics 

Public Policy Ideas for Change 
  • Every individual must have and contribute to the cost of health care coverage
  • Every employer must take responsibility for providing health care coverage for their employees and contribute to the cost
  • Every insurer must guarantee access to coverage that is affordable, gives consumers the protection they need, and delivers value
  • Governments must maintain their current responsibility for coverage for seniors, disabled and certain low income people
  • Collective financing will be needed
