The most immediate impact of Coverage for All will be in rural communities and areas. With C4A, rural areas will finally have the guaranteed access to funds that will allow them to plan and implement realistic, sustainable healthcare.
Currently many rural areas are “healthcare deserts”, with a very limited number of care providers and often no local hospital. Almost two hundred rural hospitals have closed or reduced services over the past fifteen years. The Credits should have a significant impact on rural healthcare. The guaranteed revenue of the Credits will ensure doctors and hospitals in rural areas have larger and steadier revenue stream.
The Credits also support the formation of Integrated Care Networks in rural areas. If the people living in an area agree to pool their credits, this funding may be sufficient to allow previously closed care facilities to be re-opened.
Rural areas will continue to have compete for doctors with urban areas able to pay higher salaries or higher fee for service reimbursements. However the rural Integrated Care Networks will be able to offer medical professionals a less bureaucratic working environment with better doctor-patient relationships and in many ways a better quality of life. Doctors who once dreamed of being a small town doctor would again have an opportunity to have actual relationships with their patients.
