Doctor’s New Book Proposes Hawaii’s Unique Universal Medical Care System for All Americans

Health Care Hawaii Style: Model for the Nation? by Frank L. Tabrah, M.D. explores how Hawaii’s innovative medical system could help solve the nation’s health care crisis

HONOLULU, HAWAII – Doctor Frank L Tabrah’s Health Care Hawaii Style: Model for the Nation? is both a fascinating chronicle of the author’s fifty years of service as a doctor in Hawaii, and an exploration of how Hawaii’s unique  medical care system evolved from the days of the plantations.

Today’s health care system is in a crisis. Many authorities suggest that America would be better off moving toward a national health care system. But parts of America—specifically Hawaii—already have. In Dr. Frank L Tabrah’s provocative book, Health Care Hawaii Style: Model for the Nation? he shows how such a system was developed and maintained in Hawaii, and he explores how it can benefit the rest of the country.

Beautifully written and told with humanity and concern, Health Care Hawaii Style, tells the story of how Tabrah began his work in Hawaii as a plantation doctor, and later as an academic physician. The plantations provided a model of universal medical care to their workers, one which Tabrah suggests could work for the country as a whole.

Insightful, thought-provoking and filled with over 40 photographs, some of them never before published, Health Care Hawaii Style may be  just the prescription for America’s health care crisis.
