Universal health care coverage: A potential hybrid solution

Article Abstract:

A hybrid approach combining universal risk pools, mandated coverage with income-based subsidies, and a restructured payment mechanism is found to have a great potential for improving both the equity and efficiency of health care coverage in the U.S. A collective risk pool will reallocate funds, market-disciplined carriers will facilitate payment and appropriate incentives will help in ensuring that health care expenditures are driven by informed patient and clinician decisions about the care required to achieve high-quality outcomes.
