america 2.0.15: levels of healthcare

we are all just bodies

breathing beating walking

eating sleeping thinking

we need health

we should protect ourselves

we should protect others

on three levels

.

primary

basic survival and function

of people is everyone's responsibility

(via a government guarantee system)

provided to all citizens and visitors

.

secondary

at the healthy health care level

government or low-cost insurance

covers 20%-80% of costs

based on your ability to pay

.

tertiary

government should not be involved

at cosmetic or elective health levels

individuals can pay or buy coverage

.

simple and fairly well defined

we can argue where treatment falls

between secondary or tertiary

as it will change over time

.
