Healthcare in Crisis: Physicians Reimbursement Failure; Government Control

SUMMARY: #2 in Healthcare in Crisis Series-USA. Drs. Nussbaum and Ausman discuss the failure of physician reimbursement under the USA Socialized Healthcare System. The Central Control of the Healthcare Market has distorted the reimbursement of physicians unrelated to their ability, has forced physicians into employment models which are also restrictive , and unattractive to high quality young students looking for a career in Medicine. . Also healthcare quality has declined by many measures. Physician burnout and forced conformity has replaced creativity and patient commitment. There is no distinction between experienced and newly graduated neurosurgeons or physicians.Third party interests have interfered in the Doctor-Patient Free Market relationship, including insurers, hospitals, big business running medical practices, and Medicare reimbursement that is dictating management of the patient's healthcare. Non physicians organizations have begun to dictate patient care under the guise of standardization for all instead of individuality crafted care (another failure of data driven medicine). These and many other factors have distorted the incentives of a Free-Market Healthcare system. The Healthcare system is failing to provide quality, compassionate, personalized, care that is cost-effective, with rapid access, and quality care at a reasonable cost. The patient with a Healthcare Credit card is a source of spending by other parties without free market controls. We are living with the usual end of Socialization or government control of any system, with the outcome of rising costs, lower quality of care, and restricted access to healthcare. No one has a solution for this descent of Healthcare into Socialization. SNI & SNI Digital are offering those solutions. 70 Minutes Discussion. What is your answer?
