Endorse Our Basic Principles
ON ACCESSIBILITY:
- We believe that all individuals that need medical care should be able to obtain needed medical care.
- We believe that all citizens have a right to seek quality, affordable health care.
ON AFFORDABILITY:
- We believe that financial barriers to care should be removed, so that our focus is on improving health and wellness.
- We believe that saving over $1.4 Billion per year by covering everyone in Colorado with an efficient, universal, robust plan is fiscally responsible and morally prudent.
ON QUALITY:
- We believe that quality should be a universal goal, as opposed to a multi-tiered system that introduces different levels of quality.
- We believe that continuity of care is essential to improved quality.
- We believe that long-term focus on prevention is lost in a market-oriented health care system.
- We believe that integrated data systems for all patients and providers is critical for improved outcomes and making intelligent treatment decisions.
ON UNIVERSALITY:
- We believe that any system that is not universal in nature creates too many opportunities for failure and abuse.
- We believe that eliminating overhead designed to segment the population into different groups is essential in bringing down costs and promoting quality.
- We believe that universal coverage is essential to eliminate job-lock and promote entrepreneurship.
ON FREEDOM:
- We believe that the health care relationship should be between a patient and provider, without interference from insurers or employers that have different financial objectives.
- We believe that giving citizens the freedom to choose their health care providers is essential to improving quality, expanding access, and introducing positive market forces.
- We believe in protecting the privacy of the patient/provider relationship through public accountability.
- We believe in eliminating financial conflicts of interest in making medical treatment decisions.
