title: Health care for all: comparing proposals for reform. A roundtable discussion: Part 2.
abstract: Part 1 of this roundtable discussion [Geriatrics 1992; 47(Sept):34-48] examined the flaws in our current healthcare system and factors that are interfering with our nation's ability to achieve reforms. This month, the panelists discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the major healthcare reform proposals, including managed care, single-payer systems, and so-called "play or pay." The practical aspects of any redistribution of healthcare resources are considered as each panelist outlines a favored approach. The influence of special interests, such as the insurance industry, is also discussed.
