A new report from the Citizens' Health Care Working Group established by Congress has concluded that the federal government should guarantee basic health care to all Americans. Many proponents, as well as opponents, of health-care reform equate universal coverage with a Canadian-style, government-run, single- payer system. But a survey of successful health-care systems around the world shows this is an incorrect assumption. For example, the World Health Organization rates France as having the No. 1 health-care system in the world. France's system covers everyone. It also is noted for its short waiting periods, affordability, freedom of physician choice, doctors who still make house calls, exemplary gynecological care, quality health care for immigrants and the poor, all while spending a...
There is a definite need for a complete moratorium on change in the health care system for at least five years. During that time, Democrats and Republicans would formulate and present their health care proposals in comprehensive, clearly written and easily understood forms. That way, members of the public could fully understand the proposals being put before them. In addition, Republicans and Democrats would work together to canvass all of the health care systems currently in use around the world and then explain them to the public. I believe that out of this process a unique American solution for health care in the United States would be found. At the end of the five years, it would be the responsibility of Congress and the president to put forth a proposed solution. This solution woul...
Now that the smoke is clearing from around the Capitol where the great health care debate raged, we can see the beginnings of a much- needed health insurance overhaul. The Democrats relied on reasoned and compassionate arguments. The Republicans trotted out their usual parade of lies, accusing Democrats of being anti-American, impugning the health care systems of other industrialized countries (this raised the ire of even conservative governments around the world), and fabricating wild notions about death panels liquidating Grandma. Sadly, this bearing of false witness on a ridiculous scale was largely perpetrated by self-described conservative Christians, who fought to protect a system that enriches a few, rather than help to create a means for all Americans to receive affordable medic...
LONDON, Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new approach to research, along with public policies that support medical innovation, will help biopharmaceutical companies address stubborn diseases with potentially devastating personal and financial consequences, such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease, according to John Lechleiter, Ph.D., chairman, president and CEO of Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY). Lechleiter made his remarks Thursday in London during a keynote address at The Economist's 2011 Pharma Summit: Reinventing Pharma for a New Generation. During his talk, Lechleiter said two imperatives are needed to secure the future of the research-based pharmaceutical industry: changing the way companies conduct research, and public policies that promote an environment in which medical innovati...
