Quote from Money-Driven Medicine
Former Medicare administrator Vladeck “focusing on utilization permits both health care providers and payers to change the subject away from the more embarrassing discussion of who’s getting paid, by whom, and how much.” By blaming the consumer, we avoid flustering the many politicians who receive contributions from health care lobbyists.
Read the book Money-Driven Medicine by Maggie Mahar. We the people need to see through the fear mongering of the right wing pundits. The HIGHLY PAID pundits. (who’s getting paid, by whom, and how much?)At the same time we must be on guard against a poorly executed attempt at real reform. Anything less than breaking the back of the for profit health care industry, to include the insurance companies, the drug companies, and the corporate hospital companies, is not going to help. Stay in touch with your congressman or congresswoman and share these concerns with them.
