The overall scope of this program is based on a request by a Health Commissioner at Chicago State to evaluate a program duped ‘Universal Healthcare’ which was rolled out in one clinic in Chicago. This program began as a pilot project within the government to test whether the Universal Health Care is a feasible idea worth trying within the United States. It is upon this background that an evaluation has been commissioned which will run from August 2013 to December 2013.

Background and Description of the Universal Health Program

Historical background to providing universal health care for American dates back to 1912 during the reign of President Theodore Roosevelt. He attempted to introduce national health insurance during his second attempt as president of United States but failed. In 1945, President Harry Truman also pushed for similar idea however; the American Medical Association rejected the idea as ‘socialized medicine’. In 2009, Obama and his democratic congress reintroduced the same thought, all workers to take health insurance for all its employees. In similar year a health Clinic in Chicago was sponsored to conduct a pilot run. Their target populations were women and children for families earning less than five hundred dollars per month.
