title: Review of universal health insurance: should we try it?
abstract: Health care delivery and finances are fragmented in the United States resulting in inaccessible services to many in need. Other countries with universal health insurance have developed systems that provide basic care for all individuals while maintaining costs in a reasonable range. It is time to make tough decisions to enhance the public's health status and gain control over the destiny of medical practice, while considering the bottom line.
