The National Health Plan

The National Health plan was initiated to provide money-saving solutions through the concept of self insurance. In an era where millions of people are uninsured, costs are rising, and bureaucracy is rapidly expanding, a nationalized health plan might seem like a good, and viable option It may be true that certain medical procedures are avoided if patients have the wrong or no insurance at all. Time and efforts are also wasted in bureaucracy and billings. . Reports of denied treatment have been surfacing as well, causing many people to believe that a nationalized health plan will solve their problems. What they do not seem to realize is the list of problems that it would bring with it.

If many people will start to sue their insurance companies, the government will have to intervene and force the nationalized health program on the people.
