The Endless Health Care Debate Wages On

How American Health Care Killed My Father

The incentives that drive our health care system have perverse (and sometimes fatal) consequences. It's time for a radical change.

After the needless death of his father, the author, a business executive, began a personal exploration of a health-care industry that for years has delivered poor service and irregular quality at astonishingly high cost. It is a system, he argues, that is not worth preserving in anything like its current form. And the health-care reform now being contemplated will not fix it. Here’s a radical solution to an agonizing problem.

An interesting article on American Healthcare. Maybe, just maybe, the system isn't as great and perfect as we're being told it is. It's a scary thought, and perhaps President O'Bama's plan doesn't fix all of the problems; however, at least he is acknowledging there is a problem. Don't get me wrong, some of the most brilliant Americans are professionals in the Health Care Industry and I believe we have some of the best quality health-care in the world, but nothing is perfect. As Americans, we should the world's innovators, leaders, and free-thinkers, so why don't we get back to that and make our good Health Care system the best ever? We can do it together: Republicans, Democrats, Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Insurance Agents, and patients all working together to make our country a better place for EVERYONE.

Before we spit on President O'Bama's plan, let's consider if we have a better alternative.
