Healthcare Is Broken.
According to the Commonwealth Fund report, despite having the most expensive health care system in the world, the United States ranks last overall in the quality of care provided of any high-income nation. We are the only high-income country that does not guarantee health care coverage and does not have universal health care.
Let’s fix it. The entire delivery of health care must be evaluated at the same time. The best solutions that will make us the leader of health care in the world will be the ones where anyone who has anything to do with the health care system must be involved. That would include: all national associations of those who provide health care in any manner, America’s Health Insurance Plans, National Pharmaceutical Association, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and patient advocate groups. Unless everyone is at the table and understands each other’s issues, a long-lasting solution will not be possible. This is a commonsense beginning but has never been done. The goal of the group must be to provide the best quality care to the citizens of the United States of America. Many of the answers are nothing more than simple solutions with the application of common sense.
Below are the names and phone numbers of those groups. Please contact them and request their presence at the Let’s Fix It zoom meetings starting on February 5, 2025 to reform health care. It is appropriate if no one answers the phone to leave a voicemail. A simple statement such as please participate in Let’s Fix It health care reform Zoom meetings starting February 5, 2025. Contact drrobertozzi@betterhealthcarereform.com for the Zoom link.
