If you think our healthcare system is in serious trouble, and that 47 million Americans without health insurance is unacceptable, consider this…

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who chairs the department of medical bioethics at the National Institutes of Health, will be in Seattle on Oct. 11 to explain his idea to guarantee a healthcare plan for every American. [See details of time and place below.]

Design Kompany did the brand identity design for MyVoucher earlier this year, and learned a lot about what’s wrong with our healthcare system and one very interesting way it might get fixed…

Health care is again high on the political agenda. Proposals for system reform are coming from many corners, many of them focused on incremental change.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, chairman of the department of medical bioethics, National Institutes of Health, and Victor Fuchs, professor of economics (emeritus), Stanford University, have offered a more comprehensive approach.

Termed HealthCare Vouchers, Dr. Emanuel originally presented his idea in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine published on March 24, 2005. He provided further details about HealthCare Vouchers in a paper presented to The Brookings Institute on July 17, 2007.
