Product Description
Proposals to reform the health care system typically focus on either increasing private insurance or expanding government-sponsored plans. Guaranteeing that everyone is insured, but, does not make a system with the quality of care patients want, the flexibility clinicians need, and the internal dynamics to continually improve the value of health care.
In Total Cure, Hal Luft presents a comprehensive new proposal, SecureChoice, which does all that even as providing affordable health insurance for every American. SecureChoice is a plot that restructures payment for medical care, harnessing the flexibility and responsiveness of the market by aligning the incentives of clinicians, hospitals, and insurers with those of the patient. It uses the accountability of government to make sure transparency, competition, and equity.
SecureChoice has two major components. A universal pool covers the major risks of hospitalization and chronic illness, which account for nearly two-thirds of all expenditure. Everyone would be in the pool, irrespective of employment, income, or health status. The second component emphasizes choice, flexibility, and responsibility. People will be able to choose any physician to serve as their “medical home,” to keep track of their health minutes, provide much of their care, and suggest referrals. Clinicians will have the in rank and incentives to continually enhance quality. SecureChoice also facilitates improvements in areas ranging from misconduct to pharmaceuticals and establishes new roles for key stakeholders such as health insurers.

Not for the basic consumer broadcast – it is complex – as is the problem and solutions. This book clearly moves the dabate of health care coverage into a new realm. Not just tinkering nearly the edges – but a clearer view of how to go health care coverage and quality into the 20th century – where it has not been.
