Democratic National Convention's official platform calls for universal healthcare coverage.In continuing coverage from the Aug. 11 edition of NAHU Newswire, Modern Healthcare (8/15, DoBias) reported that "[t]he agenda-setting committee for the Democratic National Convention released its official platform for the party convention, calling for universal healthcare coverage but stopping short of making it a mandate." Furthermore, "[t]he committee...calls on the medical establishment to more quickly adopt health information technology, primarily 'privacy-protected' electronic medical records and calls for financial incentives to help them do so." Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "has said that he would sign a comprehensive healthcare plan into law by the end of his first term, if elected."
