This is spot on....so wish the suggested reforms could be made. Unfortunately the “owners” of the current systems will never give up their money train...and thus health itself be dammed.
It's a good list--and I'd like to see it put into action. We all need better medical care. The shortages of qualified medical people have become severe outside large cities--and I suspect that's intentional--and another way that the bad actors are trying to depopulate large swaths of our country. It can't be allowed to continue.
My grandfather--may he rest in peace--was instrumental in helping found a hospital in his hometown, but--I think they've closed the hospital portion of it now and only the rest home is still operational. I think it's sad. So much good can be done at those small country hospitals to stabilize trauma patients and the desperately ill so they can be moved to where they can receive more specialized care. But if the little hospitals shut down, those patients will die instead. And we can't all live in the big cities, nor should we all be forced to.
Yes. Our current healthcare system is monopolized by bureaucrats and third party payers who have neither the patient’s nor the provider’s interests at heart. Both cost and quality of care will continue to worsen if these middlemen are not removed from the equation.
The success of low-cost DPC models like Atlas.MD and physician-owned Oklahoma surgery center gives us an idea of what free-market healthcare can be. We need at least one state (New Hampshire?) to open up restrictions and allow alternative approaches to medical infrastructure and certification. Once the ball gets rolling, others will follow.
Exactly the same here in Canada.
