1. A National Single Payer Healthcare System that would guarantee medical
care for all, regardless of income and would include prescription drugs.
2. The Federal Government would establish uniform regulatory standards
and oversight on how healthcare is delivered safely. A National Medical
Safety Board would accomplish this.
3. Reform of medical malpractice laws (refer to "Why We Fight" Nos 3, 5.)
4. A hearing or a series of hearings should be held to discuss the
implementation of safety in healthcare.
5. Civil and Human Rights violations would be addressed and resolved by
appropriate agencies as would criminality in healthcare.
6. State health agencies would be held accountable and would function under
the umbrella of the National Medical Safety Board.
7. It has been estimated that every single American has either been personally
affected by medical malpractice or knows someone who has. We must end this
national disgrace.
