Single Payer works for Ak Natives why not the rest of us
Nov 2, 2009
How well would a single payer option work!
In Anchorage Alaska the State of the Art Alaska Native Medical Center, is alive and well for those living in remote bush communities air fair hotels and taxi vouchers are provided to bring Natives in for health care it is not reasonable to put a hospital in a village of 100 people. For those Native Alaskans that live in Anchorage they have unlimited access to health care drug treatment alcohol treatment no appointment necessary Free of Charge! Alaska Native medical center is an acute, specialty, primary and behavior health care provider, they have a full range of medical specialists and labs. This hospital has again won the highest award a hospital can the Magnet award. They cover everything. From earaches to Cancer. The federal government funds or the taxpayer this system. Most Native Alaskans use the native health care provided because it works and its free. From 98-2003 3 billion went to fund Alaska Native health care and housing.
They also have received various medical grants and receive federal funding each year. If this single payer system works for them then why can't it work for everyone else? Call your senators and rep ask them if they have ever voted to fund the native health care system. They ask them why it works for Native Alaskans and Americans but not for anyone else! Senator Lisa Murkowski is against the public option but all for giving it to the natives. All of which have the same opportunity as the rest of us if not more. Ask your senators if they are as hypocritical as Lisa is. And You can call her to. The native single payer in Alaska works she even brags about their award, it would be a great model to start with for the rest of the nation. Her is her # ask her why single payer is good enough for Anchorage and Alaska natives but not the rest of the nation
