SWOP homepageUniversal Care May Need $1B ...
Not if we use the Health Security Plan:The only solution that saves money and covers everyone, according to the Govenor's recent study. (download it here, Mathematica Final Report)
*************
Excerpt from the Journal today
Read the entire article here: Universal Care May Need $1B
"'Systemic change'
Cisneros said the flaw in Richardson's plan is that it "assumes private insurance can be fixed." He said "systemic change is what is needed" and urged legislators to adopt the Health Security Act, which would replace most private insurance with a state-funded and administered system.
"Let's set up our own health plan, almost like a cooperative," Cisneros said.
As modeled by Mathematica, a single-payer program would cost less than other approaches, but would give control of much of health care to a board appointed by state government. It would require new payroll taxes and annual legislative appropriation of billions of dollars to fund health care.

It's the only way to go, so stop beating around the bush and pass it already.
