Local ballot initiatives sponsored by the Labor Party's Just Health Care campaign in Massachusetts and Florida and by Physicians for National Health Care in Cook County show that over two-thirds of Americans support a health care system that provides comprehensive universal care and replaces health insurance companies with a public fund.
Though this panel, we hope to begin discussions within the OSH section of APHA to create a model for the optimal delivery of occupational health services for workers that could be incorporated into a national health insurance plan. Such a model would include disease surveillance and research and health services for diagnosis and treatment of job-related injuries and illnesses. We realize there is a vast amount of experience in the section and invite everyone to join the discussion.
