ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 10, 2014 /Standard Newswire/ -- Award-winning author Dr. Deane Waldman, M.D., MBA and practicing cardiologist for over 36 years knows that we must make a choice between population medicine and personal medicine if we want control of our healthcare.
According to his book, The Cancer in Healthcare: How Greed Is Killing What We Love, healthcare itself has become a sick patient with an out-of-control cancerous bureaucracy hurting both doctor and patient alike. That the 'father knows best' Affordable Care Act is making important choices for us that are actually undermining our doctor's ability to give us the best treatment, and in some cases whether we will receive care at all.
In his article Choose Your Poison!* the doctor states that population medicine means some panel or committee determines what it considers cost-effective for a population - and what care is authorized - whereas personal medicine allows you and your provider to determine your options after weighing long-term medical effects as well as financial considerations. And he warns if we ignore this question now that the choice will be made for us, as it is in Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand; where certain treatments are withheld because of your age.
Dr. Deane is working to bring the country together to show what good patient care should look like, so we can over-haul a top-heavy bureaucratic system that is costing us billions a year, into a user-friendly model that allows doctors to be the ones to practice medicine on the patient instead of a non-medical administrator who doesn't understand the patient's true condition. In short Dr. Deane wants to put the 'care' back into our healthcare system.
Dr. Deane Waldman, M.D., MBA was appointed by the Governor to the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, is Adjunct Scholar for the Rio Grande Foundation and is former Emeritus Professor of University of New Mexico (both Medical and Management Schools). He is the host of Newsletter & Forum www.wethepatients.info.
