New book: NCPA's John Goodman on single-payer health care
["The Right to Health Care Gone Wrong! How National Health Insurance Fails Patients," NCPA, 27 September 2004.]
NCPA president John Goodman, known as the "father of MSAs," has just released a new book on the failure of single-payer health care and managed competition:
Lives at Risk is a definitive analysis of single-payer health care systems, especially managed competition – the centerpiece of Sen. John Kerry’s health care proposals. Lives at Risk shows that national single-payer health care systems in countries such as Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have not delivered on the promise of a right to health care.
Evidence presented in Lives at Risk shows that patients in single-payer countries routinely face a reduction in the quality of health care:
- Lower quality of care, especially for the sick.
- Lack of access to the best doctors and medicines.
- Lack of access to new medical technology.
- Unreasonable waiting periods.
Single-payer health care systems, including Sen. Kerry’s managed competition model, lead to some of the same bad consequences as national health insurance – too many services for the healthy and too few for the sick and the poor.
