Proceedings of Symposium on the Tenth Anniversary of Foundation of CJP/JCP Club (10th CJP-99)

U. S. has the most sophisticated and advanced medical technol ogy in the world, but it has a serious problem in making the delivery of the technology and services to its population. In fact, U. S. is the only developed country that does not have a universal, comprehensive health care insurance for its people on earth. Today, more than 40 million (or 15％) Americans are uniusured and another 29 million Americans are under insured. There is an inequality in the distribution of quality care services between social classes. There are a lot of frauds, corruption, and forgeries in both public and private insurance programs. The worst of all is the run-away, skyrocketing health care cost that has caused various earth-shaking changes in the U. S. health insurance system in particular and the U. S. health care system in general.
