title: The President's NHI proposal: solution or problem?
abstract: Are the Carter administration's NHI principles appropriate for resolving health problems in the United States? An examination of the applicability of these principles to the problems--categorized in terms of health status indicators, health care resources, and consumer satisfaction--concludes that evidence in these areas does not indicate a need for NHI. Recommendations for establishing appropriate health care proposals follow.
