"Episode S0999, Recorded on January 26, 1994. Guests: Richard Janeway, J. Ward Kurad, Charles A. Sanders. For more information about this program, see:Hoover Institution."
"Yes!, is our guests' resounding answer to the title question--and without
unmaking what is generally agreed to be the world's finest health-care system (CS: "One
of the best things about the Canadian system is the proximity to the U.S."). Drs. Sanders
and Janeway emphasize portability (the ability to retain your medical insurance if you
change jobs) and insurance for catastrophic illness--which, says Dr. Janeway, could be
taken care of for "not a huge amount of cost to the American public per year." Dr.
Kurad--who was driven out of active practice of his specialty by "the paperwork mill
and the hassles with insurance and Medicare"--tells persuasively what business can do to
cut the red tape."
From the Hoover Institution
In 1994, President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congress (House and Senate) pushed for health care reform and seeing that every single American has access to quality, affordable health care and health insurance. And two of the areas that they focused on where quality, affordable coverage and controlling medical costs.
Congressional Republicans, led by Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole and House Minority Leader Bob Michael, strongly opposed the so-called Clinton Care approach to health care reform which would mean more government involvement in the health care system. And this is what the Firing Line debate is essentially about.
