Ally Gilman’s Post

Thank you Ge Bai for this beautifully written tribute highlighting Marshall Allen's simple truths about the US "health" care system. Please take a few minutes to read, digest, and perhaps begin to react to these facts: 1. Healthcare Is Paid Solely By Workers and Taxpayers. 2. Patients Are Powerless Because They Do Not Control Their Own Money. 3. Healthcare Is A Money-Making Business. 4. Workers and Taxpayers Deserve A Better Deal. 5. Our Healthcare Reality Is By Design.

Wonderful article by #GeBai, and a great tribute to Marshall Allen. And, in that Forbes article is about the best concise description I have heard or read of the problems in our healthcare system: “5. Our Healthcare Reality Is By Design. “When the government plays a bigger role in healthcare, policymakers and businesses get more intimate. Influencing policy is more effective than competition for large businesses to make money, and controlling healthcare dollars is more effective than empowering patients for policymakers to reap political gains. This business-policymaker marriage perpetuates a system that enriches both while compromising patients, workers, and taxpayers. The key to breaking this vicious cycle is, in Mr. Allen’s words, to ‘stand up to bullies’ and ‘fight back.’” He told us how to do that in his book, “Never Pay the First Bill”.

How do we tackle the enormous task of addressing misinformation in health care? Here’s what Dr Reed Tuckson, MD says it will take: 1️⃣ work together and care about each other 2️⃣ every health care interaction has to be based on trust 3️⃣ educate the health care workers to have these conversations with their mistrustful patients 4️⃣ increase science/medical literacy so that patients “participate in the use” of health information (great phrase)

How one person really can make a huge impact.
