Healthcare “Change”
Straight from a Docter, and an unfortunate patient, we hear the woes of the current healthcare industry…
Until recently I was a practicing heart surgeon. That is, until I had heart surgery myself. Yes, that was a real turn about. But the irony is that I sustained an unusual but described complication that has left me unable to operate.

Health care is a mess. Folks are dying in emergency rooms, public policies hinder research, everyone sues for everything and no one gets paid…well, someone does, but I will share my thoughts about that another day.
What change is coming, messiah? Unfortunately, Obama has been silent on this issue, which he made such a big deal about during his campaign, since Jan. 20. Imagine that!
So lets take a stroll back: in his campaign, Obama advocated a form of universalized health care. Unfortunately, this system just bites back the exact problems our doctor talks about earlier – the wrong person is getting paid to do the wrong thing.
In universalized health care industries, the American people are forced to pay into a system that will be just as obtuse and bureaucratic as the current tax code. People will still be dying in emergency rooms waiting in the government bread lines.
Politicians rarely get stuck for 8 hours in an emergency room, or have their care denied because they just don’t have coverage, and I wonder how many find themselves juggling their checkbooks to pay for their medications? And once they have, say, heart surgery, do you think they struggle to find coverage like the rest of us?

You would not trust your accountant to do your heart transplant, would you? You would want someone who understood the operation to do it – WITH YOUR INPUT!”
The doctor encourages your input on his website. Please voice out your opinion there. What change needs to come not from the government bureaucracy reallocating our hard earned money. The change that needs to come is from the private sector, so let’s get that motivated!
