U.S. Health Reform
Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice, 09/30/09

Keepnews DM – A new political climate in the United States has raised renewed hope for achieving much needed reform of the U.S. health care system. Opposition to reform raises old arguments, however, including warnings against "big government," currently focused on proposals to include a public plan option in health reform. But greater government involvement in health care is needed to achieve comprehensive reform. Further substantial delay in achieving reform is unthinkable; success will require continued and expanded support efforts. Although a strong public plan option would represent a significant step forward, continued advocacy by proponents of single–payer health care can help strengthen broader efforts to achieve public accountability. Supporters of meaningful health reform will need to continue their efforts long past the passage of reform legislation.
