Frequently Asked Questions
- Frequently Asked Questions Main Page
- Is national health insurance 'socialized medicine'? | Won't this raise my taxes? | Isn't a payroll tax unfair to small businesses? | Won't this result in rationing like in Canada? | Who will run the health care system? | What about medical research? | Won't this just be another bureaucracy? | How will we keep costs down if everyone has access to comprehensive health care? | How will we keep doctors from doing too many procedures? | What will happen to physician incomes? | How will we keep drug prices under control? | Why shouldn't we let people buy better health care if they can afford it? | What will be covered? | What about alternative care, will it be covered? | Can a business keep private insurance if they choose? | What will happen to all of the people who work for insurance companies? | How will we contain costs with the population aging? | What about ERISA? Doesn't it stand in the way of states implementing universal health care plans? | How will the Health Planning Board operate? | Since we could finance a fairly good system, like the Norwegian, Danish or Swedish system, with the public money we are already spending (60% of health costs), why do we need to raise the additional 40% (from employers and individuals)? | How much of the health care dollar is publicly financed? | Why not MSAs/HSAs? | Why not use tax subsidies to help the uninsured buy health insurance? | Won't competition be impeded by a universal health care system? | Why not make people who are higher risk pay higher premiums? | Walter Reed Army Medical Center has been in the news lately for poor care and treatment of returning soldiers from Iraq. Won't national health insurance have similar problems? | What about incremental reform of the health system? | What happens to investor-owned hospitals under national health insurance (NHI)? | What proportion of health spending is for undocumented immigrants? | The insurance industry says that PNHP's figures on administrative costs are outdated.
