Hello, this is a discussion post.

Should the U. S. Adopt a Single-Price Health Care?

Health care in America is under constant scrutiny. Costs continually rise for such things as medications, treatments, hospitalizations, and routine medical appointments. Yet, it is commonly known that the U.S. continues to lag behind other nations in terms of our health outcomes. There is great inequity across populations and a significant number of Americans lack access to affordable health care, or struggle to afford health care even with insurance coverage. Many believe that we are mired in a major cost crisis that requires alternative solutions to our current health care system.
