THE HEALTH CARE MESS: UPDATE AND CURE
THE HEALTH CARE MESS: UPDATE AND CURE
by Forrest Wayne Schultz
A review of William C. Waters III, 2 Days That Ruined Your Health Care
(Newnan, GA: Logikon, 2008)
ISBN 9780977128839 105 pp
The book under review here is well-written, easy to read, and gets right to the point. Its value is two-fold. First, it provides a good summary of the health industry malaise and brings it up to date and shows clearly what the problem is. Secondly, it proposes what sounds like a realistic cure. Most of the information on the problem has already been known for some time, but the author points out some things that most of us have probably never heard of: for example, that almost none of the members of all these health care study commissions are practicing physicians!!
The author, now in his seventies, has devoted a lifetime to the practice of medicine and to teaching in a medical school. He writes out of a concern for his profession, for patients, and for America. The time to cure the crisis is now -- in fact it is long, long overdue. His proposal of patient-controlled Health Savings Accounts sounds like a good solution to me. Let's either adopt it or come up with something better. We need to act now. We are out of time!
Forrest Wayne Schultz is the head of the Coweta Writers Group, the author of the Coweta Arts Tidbits news releases covering the Coweta scene, and the compiler of the report on the Coweta Authors of Recently Published Books. He has degrees in engineering and theology.
