Universal means all are covered. Portable means goes from job to job to illness to unemployment to disability. Affordable: rise in insurance costs far exceeds wage and cost of living increases for the middle class. Very poor may be covered. Comprehensive & preventive care: many insurance programs exclude annual well child and adult exams, vaccinations, PAP and other cancer screening tests and wellness services like smoking cessation programs and meds. Easy to use: see any doctor, hospital, low costs, simple billing and referrals. Equal access: no matter income, sex, race, preexisting condition, etc. Mental health: often not covered or limited days of service.
