Draft of Mission Statement

Mid-Michigan Coalition for National Health Care Reform believes that health care is a human right. We are working to implement expanded and improved Medicare for all U.S. residents. This system must reimburse medical providers and hospitals adequately so as to preserve their economic viability, and it must eliminate the waste, duplication and fraud in our current medical system. We believe that we must create a system which concentrates on prevention, fosters wellness and creates programs which will help individual to improve and preserve their health. Preventative care reduces health care costs.

note: This mission statement fulfills all three of Obama's stated three principles on health care reform.

Expanded justification/explanation:
example: This will greatly reduce administrative costs as Medicare costs roughly 3% to administer while private insurance company administrative costs policies run btw 25 and 30 %. THIS IS THE REAL WASTE AND FRAUD. We can have this system and reduce expenses. The problem with single payer and public option is no one knows what those terms really mean in practice.

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION AND APPROVE A VERSION OF THIS MISSION STATEMENT AT MONDAY'S MEETING.
