Roy Sees Limited Resources For Free Health Care Policy
Former congressman Bill Roy argues in Dialogue magazine that health care must be allocated by price or availability and that Americans cannot be guaranteed free care due to limited resources. He criticizes private enterprise, state governments, and hospitals for cost-driven incentives and urges universal access, public funding for initiatives, private payment for most services, and market forces aligned with equity. Roy, now at St Francis Hospital Topeka, warns political inertia hinders a national policy while outlining five core points for reform.
