Current Healthcare Reform Proposals Come Up Short
Posted by Sel Fillerup on October 19, 2007
Healthcare reform, to be of any benefit to anyone in the long run, must provide a sustainable system for both finance and delivery.
Sadly, none of the current presidential candidates have proposed sustainable plans. What makes me believe this? Because I have made it a point to study the differences between successful, marginally successful, and failed foreign healthcare systems for the past three years. I promise you, none of the current proposals will reduce healthcare costs, some will increase costs, and all will prove unsustainable.
Much of what I learned during that time is in the book “Chronic Crisis: Critical Care for America’s collapsing Healthcare System.” Additional material gets added here and to my website – www.ChronicCrisis.com. I am working on a second book that reviews the current presidential candidates’ proposals and compares them to the most successful features of several foreign healthcare systems.
