<div> The issue raised by David Werner is very very relevent and sums up many things in a few sentences. He has suggested that the only way to universal health coverage is as the WHO report puts it <strong><em>" indisputable conclusion is that the only way that Health Care for All can be approached is through Universal Health Coverage managed and paid for collectively, whereby the rich and the healthy are obliged to help pay for the health costs of the the poor and the sick -- through what directly or indirectly comes down to progressive taxation." <br>
</em></strong></div>
<div>But the problem is, as one of the presenter in symposium in Montreux said, that the more economic disparities, the more the resistance towards more taxes on the rich, so politically strong movements are required to force the politicians, who themselves are rich, to go in for risk sharing mechanisms to make universal healthcare a reality and not just only a facinating debate.</div>
