U.S. doctors call for universal health insurance
More than 7,000 doctors, including two former surgeons general, called for universal health insurance for the United States on Tuesday, saying it would not only be more fair, but would be cheaper and more efficient than the current patchwork system.
"We endorse a fundamental change in U.S. health care -- the creation of a national health insurance program," the doctors wrote in a special communication to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
