Thinking Correctly about Health Policy
Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 04:36PM This is what I love about John Goodman:
Nearly 30 years later, after tens of millions of dollars from foundations and the active participation of top executives of Fortune 100 companies what is there to show for all this effort? I suspect it cost the health care system far more than it saved, and decreased efficiency as more time was spent on bureaucracy and less on patient care. All because the underlying premise was wrong — greedy doctors are not needlessly filling hospital beds to enrich themselves.
...
And some doctors are jerks. So are some Fortune 100 executives, hospital administrators, and health care economists. So what? I would wager that as a group physicians are more ethical and more caring than most other professions. If they over treat their patients, it is out of an abundance of caution rather than greed. When you have someone’s life in your hands, you want to do everything possible to save them. This is a good thing.
Given the record of massive, epic failure from the “health policy community,” I would much prefer to put my fate in the hands of any physician randomly found in the phone book than any of these bureaucrats.
Unlike many other health policy scholars, he: (1) takes a nuanced view of the players in the game, (2) does not take the easy way out of blaming doctors for every problem under the sun, and (3) he views the political problem as one of government versus voluntary human interactions, rather than as left versus right.
Read the whole thing.

This site started off pretty well only to be sold later by the owner. The new management which took over the site reset all the balances of the users. Although the new owners who go by the cheap michael kors watches James and Ultra tried their best to clear earlier dues and make payments on time, the site just couldn't pay up. Shortly, the forum was also closed.
