Physicians, Not Politicians Lead Health Care Reform

[adamwittek]

Hello azmediaguys & viewers of this video, I have a request and as this moving story appears to be a good place to reach the people I'm looking for, I hope it's okay that I post here.

I'm an actor & theatre practitioner in London, currently working on a verbatim project on the AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM and needing willing participants to share their views & experiences. Please click my Channel for more info. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, azmediaguys, or any page visitor. Thanks.

Tort reform and health insurance across state lines!

Great comment NanaHall55. Unfortunately, the majority of physicians went into medicine w/ "good intent." Politicians (lawyers & business people) have taken advantage of our desire to "help" others. As physicians we are the only group that has the legal "right" to prescribe and practice medicine. I think it's high time that we become assertive and reject insurance contracts, etc. & etc. Dr. Phil always asks; "how is it working for you?" Well, it isn't. It's time to show our muscle!!

I agree! As a HC professional, I tire of Lawyers writing regulations for our HC system. One way to solve the indigent problem would be to allow physicians to see legitimate indigent & write the cost of the visit off their taxes. This is one place to start. It's a win, win situation. Medicare, Medicaid & VA HC systems do not work. Why in God's name would anyone think a government run Universal HC program would work? Because they have never worked in HC? Yep!
