ABOUT SINGLE PAYER: HEALTH CARE EQUALITY FOR AMERICA is happening on Wed., Apr.
26 at 5 PM in the Free School Classroom at Red Emma's
Bookstore Coffeehouse, 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore 21201. Challenging
the shower of criticism coming from all but one of the presidential candidates,
a book just released by a Johns Hopkins transplant surgeon asserts that a
Single Payer health care system will actually save most taxpayers money. In
Talking About “SINGLE PAYER: Health Equality for America,” Dr. James F.
Burdick, a frequent contributor of op-ed pieces on health care reform to
the Baltimore Sun and former Director of the Division of
Transplantation in the Department of Health and Human Services, details the
opportunities for further savings in the present U.S. system, despite the
improvements of Obamacare. Dr. Burdick maintains that "through controlling
expenses that do not help patients, a single payer system will simplify our
health care, improve the quality of care and provide savings far exceeding the
cost of extending coverage to every American.” Call
