Health care reform and Brave New Films
|
"I spend 40 percent of my time away from my patients doing paperwork and getting prior authorizations," said Jim King, MD, a family physician in Selmer, Tenn. "We need to start taking the barriers that are between me and my patients away."
At the same time American people were unwittingly forced to 'bail out' banks and insurance companies to the tune of 11 trillion dollars, those same companies were giving themselves a reported $33 Billion dollars in bonuses.
These catastrophically corrupt financial and medical systems are broken and apparently those who represent the common good are not going to fix it alone.
Activist and hero Robert Greenwald is doing something about it and you can too. His company Brave New Films, is affording Americans a way to gather forces and expose toxic tumors in what we wrongly term (in our oh so accepted double speak) the 'health care' system. It is in fact a sick care system. It doesn't work for the majority of Americans. As countries go for health care, we are very near the bottom of the pile.
Can 450,000 doctors who are dealing with the medical and insurance system every day, be wrong? The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and Herndon Alliance (a nonpartisan coalition of more than 200 health-care provider organizations including the AARP, Mayo Clinic and Families USA) want health care reform.
