The US needs "a united health system" based on the principle of unity, not the division and adversarial conflicts of interest in our present health system "war of all against all" that pits doctors against patients, patients against insurers, and doctors against insurers. United Health System (UHS) as an organization is a health system research, education, and citizen advocacy group. We advocate "a united health system" based on unity and cooperation, not division and competition.

America has a health care crisis not only in terms of costs but also in terms of values. The American health system isn't American-enough. UHS proposes and calls for a system that provides universal and equal coverage, lower costs, better
cost containment, the best possible care, and excellent service consistent with the fundamental principles that are the basis
of American society. A United Health System.
