Support the id principles put together by Health CareTor America Now! ■ A truly inclusive and accessible health care system in which no one is left out. ■ A choice of a private insurance plan, including keeping the insurance you have if you like it, or a public health insurance plan that guarantees affordable coverage without a private insurer middleman. ■ A standard for health'benefits that covers what people need to keep healthy and to be treated when they are ill. Health care benefits should cover aH necessary care including preventative services and treatm ent needed by those with serious and chronic diseases and conditions. ■ Health care coverage with out-of-pocket costs including premiums, co-pays, arid deductibles that are based on a family’s ability to pay for health care and without limits on paym entsfor covered services.. ■ Equity in health care access, treatment, research and resources to people and coriununities of color, resulting in the elimination of racial disparities in health outcomes and real improvement in health,and life expectancy for all. ■ Health coverage through the largest possible pools in order to achieve affordable, quality coverage for the entire population and to share risk fairly. ■ A watchdog role on all plans, to assure that risk is fairly spread among all health care payers and that insurers do not turn people away, raise rates, or drop coverage based on a personas health history or wrongly delay or deny care. ■ A choice of doctors, health providers, and private and public health insurance plans, without gaps nx coverage or access-and a delivery system that meets the needs of at-risk populations. ■ Affordable and predictable health costs to businesses and employers. To the extent that employers contribute to the cost of health coverage, those payments should be related to employee wages rather than on a per-employee basis. ■ Effective cost controls that pro mote quality, lower administrative costs, and long term financial' sustainability, including: standard claims, forms, secure electronic medical records, using the public’s purchasing power to instill greater reliance on evidence- based protocols and lower drug and device prices, better management and treatm ent of chronic diseases, and a public role in deciding where money is invested in health care. 1 Cmsswnrd j 2 3 4 5 6 I8 7 10.
