title: Physicians' plan for health care reform.
abstract: Numerous proposals have been made for health care reform during the last decade. Still, the richest health care system in the world offers little or nothing to millions of Americans. The quality of nursing practice is threatened by calls for rationing of health care resources and cost control. The Canadian system for national health care is frequently cited as a model for health care reform in the United States. Physicians for a National Health Program have designed a plan similar to that of Canada. This article presents an overview of the physicians' proposal and suggests its comparison with that of the Pepper Commission.
