Doctor’s Diary March 12, 2018: US healthcare – another inconvenient truth

(Snippets from the frontline)

US healthcare – another inconvenient truth

Profit:  Business takeover of medicine at the expense of quality patient care.

Doctors:  Marginalized without a voice becoming a mere commodity.

Hospital administrators and insurance company executives:  Denial of physician  medical decision-making profiteering on illness.

Pharmaceutical companies:  Jacking up prices with astronomical out-of-pocket expenses.

Statistics:  Spiraling downward US Life Expectancy.

Legislators:  Accepting lobby money while living under a different healthcare umbrella than their constituents.

The public:  Silent and apathetic accepting 280-character information without comment nor dissent, while demanding instant cures.

Historians:  The writing was on the wall.

Gene Uzawa Dorio, M.D.
