Welcome

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my blog. This blog is really intended to be an open discussion about the current health care "non" system in the US. I am a doctor who went broke trying to provide health care in the current system, so I have plenty of stories. I also have written a book about it and am currently receiving my fifth or sixth publisher denial. Don't expect to read my book anytime soon!! The basic premise which I believe needs to be addressed is this. Health care can either be a right or a privilege, it does not survive trying to straddle the line, so if it is a privilege than the middle and lower classes can expect to be denied health care!! If it is a right then we need to remove it from the world of big business, health insurance, liability insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. Please post your thoughts on right or privilege and support your argument. One of the many lessons that practicing medicine brought to me was that the general population has very little insight into how the medical system works, thus the point of my book, if we are to make judgements about a system and/or move for change we must first know and understand it. I will answer questions about the system, medicine, or anything else that may fall under my expertise.
