| Hello John, You have to check this out. You may know Dr. Marty Makary from his many appearances on Fox News. At a recent roundtable discussion in Washington, D.C. with Sen. Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, Dr. Makary unloaded on the current health care system. Here are just a few of the things he had to say: - “We are so busy in our health care system billing and coding and paying each other and every stakeholder has their gigantic lobby in Washington D.C. and everybody's making a lot of money except for one stakeholder, the American citizen.”
- “Our health care system is playing whack-a-mole on the back end, and we are not talking about the root causes of our chronic disease epidemic. We can't see the forest from the trees sometimes.”
- “The country is getting sicker. We cannot keep going down this path. We have the most over-medicated, sickest population in the world. And no one is talking about the root causes.”
- “The best way to lower drug costs in the United States are to stop taking drugs we don't need."
You have to admit, Dr. Makary is hitting the nail on the head. The “billing and coding” lobby must be changed! See the whole thing here. One thing we know for sure – more government health care will not solve any of these problems. But more personalized control of health care will. Personalized Health Care Solutions Direct primary care (DPC) is subscription-based health care that allows you access to a primary care doctor for a low monthly fee. The best part? No insurance company middleman – none of the billing and coding Dr. Markary bemoans. Health savings accounts (HSAs) are tax-free accounts can help Americans fund a healthier lifestyle by allowing them to pay for things that health insurance doesn’t cover – preventative care, gym memberships, and more. Again, bye-bye billing and coding. DPC and HSAs are both important parts of the Personal Option. As we continue advocating for real health care reform, it’s clear that the Personal Option offers the best path forward—one that prioritizes individual freedom, prevention, and affordability. If we want to put an end to the “sick care” system that lives by billing and coding, not healthy people, the Personal Option is the way to go.
