Poked and Prodded has a post by Dena Rifkin we all should read: I see the failure of the health-care system every day.
Let's celebrate it. Seriously. Dr. Rifkin articulates just a few of the failures of our health-care system so clearly that we see just as clearly where solutions are needed and who needs them.
That's the first step of finding a solution. Providing clarity. Answering:
- Where a solution is needed.
- Who needs it.
- When is it needed.
- What will it solve.
- How will we be able to measure its success?
And let's celebrate briefly, the failures of our health-care system.
Why?
They are so egregious now. We can't deny them anymore. We can't pretend. We can't ignore. We can't say it only effects 'those' people whoever those are. And that's because the 'those' of the past are now us or our families or our neighbors or co-workers. And now we clearly see the answers to those questions.
