Although Americans remain generally satisfied with the health care provided
to them, sufficient access to high-quality, affordable health care for
citizens without health care insurance has become an increasing problem in
the last decade. Using the policy development process of the American
Medical Association, Health Access America was conceived by the Association
to improve access to affordable, high-quality health care. The proposal
consists of six fundamental principles and 16 key points. This article
specifically focuses on the five points that, if enacted into law, would
improve access to health care for Americans who are, for various reasons,
without health insurance.
