Essay / Research Paper Abstract
U.S. Census Bureau figures report the number of uninsured Americans in 2001 was 41 million, according to Kim Krisberg, which has given the movement for universal health care coverage momentum. Proponents range from university professors to single mothers returning to welfare (for health benefits) to the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Physicians, who used to resist the proposition, have been jumping on board for a decade. The latest advocates are economists. The reason for the high level of advocacy for a universal plan is that health care has become a crisis in the United States. Because health care has reached the crisis level, it is possible that universal health care coverage is possible, despite the fact that recent attempts to implement a national program failed.

health care coverage momentum. Proponents range from university professors to single mothers returning to welfare (for health benefits) to the U.S. Institute of Medicine. Physicians, who used to resist the
proposition, have been jumping on board for a decade. The latest advocates are economists. The reason for the high level of advocacy for a universal plan is that health care
has become a crisis in the United States. Because health care has reached the crisis level, it is possible that universal health care coverage is possible, despite the fact that
recent attempts to implement a national program failed. For years, it seemed unlikely that American citizens would support a national health program of
any kind if it meant raising taxes, but in recent years, most Americans have experienced first-hand, either themselves or members of their families, layoffs and other economic downturns that have
put them in the position of not having health care, even if only for short periods of time. Therefore, they are beginning to support the possibility of health care. This
comes at an apex in the movement; the number of people and their relatives who used to, but no longer have health care are silencing even the overrated cry of
"no taxation." Joe Blankeneau reports "the United States is the only modern, industrialized country without some form of universal health care coverage" (Blankeneau
38). Blankeneau states that the 1994 failure of the Clinton administration to implement universal health care can be stated in terms of Kingdons (1995) multiple streams (MS) model. Under the
Kingdon model, which analyzes policy formation processes, governments must first be defined as "organized anarchies," which operate under "three processes, or streams," that drive their political agendas (Blankeneau 38).
