The Cure for U.S. Healthcare– "StatesCare" and the Texas Model

Book excerpt: The entire eBook series, “Restoring Care to American Healthcare,” has led up to this one book: “The Cure for U.S. Healthcare–StatesCare and the Texas Model.” It starts with the root cause of why healthcare is failing and logically says: if federal control is the problem, the obvious and effective solution is to remove federal control. That approach is called StatesCare, where the healthcare system or structure in a state or group of states is decided by them, not Washington. After explaining how and why StatesCare will work, the book gives an example of what one state–Texas–might do with its freedom from federal control, a market-based system. The book emphasizes that other states might choose a different model, such as a single payer in California. State residents should be free to decide their own destiny rather than having Washington decide for them.
