Nationally Recognized Healthcare Authority Says the Answer to Healthcare Woes Will Please All Americans, Except Washington


Deane Waldman, M.D., MBA, explains why StatesCare is the path to achieving affordable, accessible health care 

ALBUQUERQUE, NM—Amidst wild promises and counter arguments about healthcare, one conclusion is crystal clear to all Americans. Washington has made a mess “fixing” our healthcare system for fifty years. Polls show healthcare is everyone’s top concern, even above immigration, the environment, or the economy. Americans simply can’t afford insurance and can’t find a doctor.

But there is hope, says nationally recognized healthcare authority Deane Waldman, MD, MBA. It comes in a form Congressional Democrats as well as Republicans will try to oppose. The solution is outlined in his new book, Curing the Cancer in U.S. Healthcare: StatesCare & Market-Based Medicine (ADM Press).  “It’s a plan that neither Democrats nor Republicans will like because it restores control where it belongs – in the hands of We the Patients,” Dr. Deane says.

He adds, “Why must all Americans have the same healthcare? In fact, should they? Does one-size-fits-all work as well in Rhode Island as in Montana, each with one million residents? If Californians want a single-payer, if Texans want market-based medicine, and if New Yorkers want Obamacare, why does Washington say no to 86 million Americans?

Dr. Deane’s proposals for StatesCare and market-based medicine have the potential to revolutionize healthcare in the U.S.

Combining his experiences as a pediatric cardiologist, educator, researcher, medical administrator, board director, and public policy advisor, Dr. Deane can answer questions such as:

•  Why do congressional legislators and insurance executives practice more medicine than doctors?
•  Where do all those trillions of healthcare dollars go?
•  Why doesn’t our healthcare system work? What can we do about it?
•  What is StatesCare? Why is he certain that it is the answer to America’s healthcare nightmare?
•  What were some of the most eye-opening experiences he had while caring for pediatric heart patients?

Praise for Curing the Cancer in U.S. Healthcare

“A must-read for physicians, patients, and policymakers alike. Equipped with his vast experience as a pediatric cardiologist, clinician, teacher, researcher, and policy adviser, Dr. Waldman approaches our critically ill healthcare system as he does a critically ill patient. He identifies the root causes of the problems and proposes a workable cure that puts patients first. This is a quick and superb read packed full of information and insight.” — Kristin S. Held, M.D. President-elect, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

Will 2020 Americans Celebrate the Fourth of July by Repudiating 1776?

Image
  Before the American Revolutionary War, residents of the North American colonies were subjects of the British crown. They were entitled to whatever goods and services the aristocracy allowed. Their living conditions and daily activities were determined by government fiat. They paid taxes arbitrarily imposed by the crown.? In 1776, the founding fathers of the U.S.A. rejected centralized dominion and replaced it with a structure that took control away from the central government and gave it to the individual. The new Americans were free to make their own choices and accept the consequences of their decisions, good or bad. Without using the word capitalism, the founding fathers created a capitalist system. The new Americans were personally responsible and were entitled to nothing, except an open road. Entitlement is an integral part of socialism, an economic and political system where the means of production, distribution, and exchange is regulated by the government. The government is re

How to Fix American Healthcare: Kick Out Washington

There are six important reasons to kick Washington OUT of U.S. healthcare. Simply put, healthcare is not in their  wheelhouse . The solution to our failing healthcare system is  StatesCare , not more-of-the-same Washington domination, called  single payer  or  Medicare-for-All . Reason #1: Track record The first and most obvious reason to kick Washington out is its track record. For more than fifty years, the federal government has been fixing healthcare, and look what their "fixes" have produced: needed medical care is both unaffordable and unavailable, especially when we need it. Imagine a football team that has had the same coach for fifty seasons and lost every game. Would you renew that coach's contract for next season? Reason #2: Cost In 2009, President Obama said spending on U.S. healthcare was "unsustainable," and he was correct. In 2010, the year the  Affordable Care Act  (ACA) was passed, the U.S. spent $2.5 trillion,  16 percent of GDP , o

More coverage doesn't necessarily translate into better patient care

Image
Everyone believes that the purpose of a healthcare system is to get the right care on time to the most people, and everyone is right. Where common wisdom goes astray is the presumption that coverage equals care. Most people think that having health insurance guarantees getting healthcare, i.e., 1. Those who have coverage will get care, and 2. those who don’t have coverage won’t get care. Both statements are wrong. Ever since EMTALA (Emergency Medical Transport and Labor Act) was passed in 1986, U.S. hospitals have cared for millions of sick Americans who have no insurance. Care is provided to those with no coverage at all. Between Medicaid, Medicare, and other public programs, the federal government is by far the largest single U.S. insurer, covering 120 million Americans. Washington has given people the expectation of receiving care when and where they need it. But coverage does not lead to that happy result. In fact, as no-charge coverage has increased, care has gone down
