U.S. Healthcare Policy Receives an Overhaul

Selvoy Fillerup, MD, MSPH, FACS, defines -- for the layperson -- the Chronic Crisis of the United States healthcare system and provides a policy concept for healthcare reform.

Denver, CO (PRWeb) November 24, 2006 -- The facts are these: there are 45 million Americans without healthcare coverage, and the majority of Americans are not aware of the options they have for improved healthcare policy. Selvoy Fillerup, doctor, teacher, lecturer and long-time student of healthcare policy, explains why in Chronic Crisis: Guide and Response to the Healthcare Debate -- for Regular People. Fillerup systematically examines seven major healthcare systems in industrialized countries around the world and applies his own insights to offer a workable, universal healthcare concept for Americans.

Chronic Crisis proposes a practical, workable concept for making affordable healthcare available to every single American. No longer will the "working poor," the self-employed, and part time or temporary employees be overlooked. Both individual Americans and the government stand to gain from a tax standpoint, and hospitals and private insurance companies benefit from a redistribution of responsibility.

Ultimately, the concept of Multi-payor Universal Health Care System is dependent upon the federal government creating a level playing field for health insurance markets while assuring simple consumer protections. Fillerup's book draws heavily on the basic principles that have guided foreign healthcare systems to successfully implement universal healthcare at much lower per capita costs.

Fillerup urges his readers to "buy two copies of this book" and "send one to your Congressman" to make this possible. Chronic Crisis clarifies once and for all the way healthcare in the U.S. works--or doesn't--and how it can be fixed. Making it happen, however, is up to all of us.
