Healthcare and Politics: Moving Forward in Healthcare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968750565)

Health policy and reform in the United States began in 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive Party endorsed social insurance as part of their platform, which included health insurance. That same year, the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners developed its first model state law to regulate health insurance. A few years later, in 1915, the American Association for Labor Legislation drafted a bill to require health insurance. However, with the United States entering World War I soon after, the bill was never enacted.Healthcare and Politics will walk you through the changes that have taken place in America's healthcare system, reviewing how politics have shaped it over the past 113 years-and what you can expect in the years to come.
