BT Health Expert Meets With Obama On Health Reform
Weill Cornell Medical College researcher Oliver Fein said yesterday that
the Obama administration is not likely to pursue a single-payer insurance model.
Hoping
to avoid rancorous bipartisanship and defering to the enormously
profitable pharmaceutical industry, Obama, Fein says, will not advocate
for large-scale change to the current system under which tens of
millions of Americans are left uninsured.
He said such a position by the president “flies in the face of
evidence” that suggests Americans do indeed support a single-payer
model.
Fein proposes comprehensive coverage that is scaled by income, paid for
by a central public fund and delivered through private channels.
Stay tuned for the full interview with Dr. Fein to be released shortly.
