Best synopsis I've heard on the status of the new healthcare law for 2014 and why the law seems to be more beneficial to medical insurers than to patients and doctors. The panel even shed light on how insurance companies influence patient care which partially explains why I became a hot potato to doctors and ultimately wound up disabled unnecessarily in my 50s as a result. Perhaps the next discussion could highlight suggestions for actually improving a medical care system that doesn't seem to be working for many chronically ill patients. <br /><br />After I was fired and lost my insurance for being so ill, I was self-pay. However, doctors' mentality in failing to even try to diagnose or treat me remained the same as if I was a managed care patient. The assembly line analogy for providing care is most certainly a reality. This paradigm allows each doctor to point to some other doctor as responsible for the patient's care. How do you suggest we stop this? Fee for service made no difference in the care I received, although I agree managed care is not the answer nor should insurance companies put walls up between patient and doctor.<br /><br />Patients don't become chronically ill overnight. If the patient is exercising, eating fairly healthy foods, is not overweight, it stands to reason that the patient became so ill because the underlying cause of disease was overlooked. When this occurs, the disease snowballs like sepsis ultimately affecting the organs. <br /><br />I've written about my quest for competent care in my blog http://doctorblue.wordpress.com. It gives examples of the medical errors and gamesmanship that occur due to our current system. If you'd like to use any examples in future talks, you may. I'd gladly waive my rights to privacy if I knew it would finally get me the medical care I need.doctorbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969190606662780672noreply@blogger.com
