Keywords:
The health care system is designed to encourage procedure based specialist practices and discourages the patient understanding education and monitoring that occurs with a well designed preventive family physician practice. As a result a patient only spends 30 minutes ayear on average with family physician compared to one hour in other developed nations. In the USA there has been a steady decline in the level and quality and extent of family care and the close one on one rapport with well trained family physicians who enjoyed their work and understood their patients and kept up with their health conditions and provided good and regular advice on these conditions. There is no money in this care as a result first you provide an environment where a whole range of medical conditions can flourish and expand, and then you hit them with a whole series of tests to rule out specific medical conditions. It is a perfect way to expand the testing and let testing flourish, so it would appear that if someone had wanted to start with a goal of letting testing proliferate unhindered then this would be the perfect way to design it.

Pricing of healthcare services and pharmaceuticals as the biggest problem in funding healthcare in the U.S.
01/31/2008
The cost of most healthcare services are double or higher in the U.S. than in Canada, Germany, France and Japan. By not bringing prices in line with the price in other major developed countries, the U.S. is effectively defunding infrastructure, R&D, education and other important means of improving competitiveness say experts. The methods of setting price present in these countries are notably absent in the U.S. The Obama healthcare bill and before that the Bush Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit simply leave this problem unaddressed.

The significance of focussing on primary care or family practice for improving health care outcomes and reducing cost in the U.S.
01/31/2008
On average patients spend only 30 minutes with family practice physicians in the U.S. compared to one hour in European countries. This results in more testing by medical specialists and less preventive care. The lack of focus on primary care in the U.S. is a glaring deficiency with large negative impact. It is evidence of the commercialization of medicine in the U.S. to the point where this poses real dangers.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
