Abstract

The article focuses in the implications of a universal health care plan in the U.S. and the relationship of such a plan to innovative medical treatments. Universal health care may enable more people to receive care, but it would make it harder for people to receive innovative treatments. It discusses the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) treatment program and its development as an example of innovative medicine, and also comments on the health care systems in European countries.
