Of course there hasn’t been a nation that has achieved all eight goals because not every nation has set out to achieve all eight of them.

Canada does not attempt to achieve goals #3, #4, or #8. They’re far more interested in #1, #2 and #5. #7 becomes a moot point in a single-payer system. And yet they spend far less on their health care than we do in the United States. (You might argue that they don’t achieve #6 very well.)

I am one of thousands of people who can not really understand all of the different proposals for healthcare reform. I cannot even understand insurance policies, if I try to read them, which has left me dependent on those telling the story from a democratic or republican viewpoint. After trying to understand, the only thing I could determine was, that there is no way to fix the healthcare system. After reading a portion of your proposal, I had an Ah-Ha moment. I wish that you had the same stage as the politicians because I think a lot of regular people like me would “get it” ! Good luck in trying to get your message to the American people…..it has given me hope that there might be a solution. Thanks for your efforts. Barbara Spinks

These are some ambitious goals. Hopefully they will see the light of day.
