title: Fix the healthcare system without making it worse.
abstract: President Clinton's prescription for healthcare reform is a social experiment on an unprecedented scale, according to Dr Kissick. As an alternative, he recommends a more measured approach, with incremental steps toward ensuring universal access to healthcare for all Americans. In this commentary, he points out the potential side effects of current reform proposals and explores fundamental issues for Congress to address.
