What people are saying
about Health Security America
“This family practitioner shows unbelievable insight into the health care affordability problems in the country. He presents a good narrative on the evolution of medicine from the 1960s to the present. His solution is provocative and worth considering.”
David Pierpont,
M.D.
Family Physician
"Your list of mistakes is a good one and is something that people/physicians
should be aware of. Your mandates and regional planning should be important
components of any real health care system reform."
Eugene
S. Farley, MD, MPH
Member, Physicians for a National Health Program
“I found Health Security
America a fascinating and a brilliant work. I watched the health care
situation unfold over the same time frame as you have [the author]. I
have arrived at the same conclusions. Health Security America
is on the right track"
John Hughes
Pharmacist
“To me, it looks like a workable health care system. And with so many farmers without health insurance and those that are paying exorbitant premiums that continue to climb every year, we must try something different.”
Harold Kringle
Farmer
“Having been owner of a successful manufacturing company I know the out of control health care costs in the United States are driving our manufacturing over seas. Finally, someone with hands on patient care experience, Dr. Bannister, proposes a rational, workable, affordable approach to controlling our burgeoning health care costs. This proposal must get the attention it deserves from our politicians and health care providers, or else health care costs and the enormous social cost of the uninsured will drag the United States into an ever downward spiral heading us towards being a second class nation.”
Jim Torseth
Founder and former owner Press On, Inc
(three hundred employees)
"Finally, a plan written by a physician who knows
why the current health care system doesn't work and
who offers a citizen/consumer-driven solution. This
plan will save employers billions, insure everybody
and eliminate the stranglehold on our economy by
providing additional revenue to address the problems
in education, the environment, energy, disasters and
security facing the nation today."
John Banks,
Retired educator
“Finally someone has a national health care solution for all citizens that actually reduces cost, insures high quality care, and gives citizens ownership of their health care system. Thank you, Dr. Bannister, for proposing a sensible solution to a health care system that has become an economic drain on our nation, bankrupting citizens, businesses, and putting health care out of reach for millions of citizens. I hope every citizen and legislator reads this book.”
Jim Adams
Teacher
“In reading Health Security America, it is quite obvious that it gets to the root cause of the medical crisis in this country. All other `so called’ Washington fixes just put more dollars into supporting an already bad plan, causing it to get even worse. A bipartisan acceptance of the Health Security America plan could guarantee health care to all children and all elderly.”
David Hamm, BS., MS
“Dr. Bannister provides a much needed look at America’s health crisis from the standpoint of an experienced physician. His discussion of his own experiences results in health care reform proposals that are imaginative as well as practical. A careful study of this book by our politicians and health care reformers is essential.”
Carrie Finn
Citizen
“They say the only two sure things in this life are death and taxes. Dr. Bannister’s Health Security America gives hope to the working person that we can also be assured of affordable health care. Through his plan, we can control our own destiny rather than be held hostage by astronomical premiums. This book is a must-read for every U.S. citizen!”
Aaron Kittelson
Package Car Driver
Union Member
“I totally agree [with] the concept of eliminating a health care system that is in the hands of insurance companies, special interest groups, etc., and returning it to the people. Common sense seems to have taken a back seat in our present health care system.”
Mary Huset, RN
Health Security America is the remedy.
