The podcast “Consumer’s Guide To Health” returned to the airwaves in January. This biweekly podcast and live stream airs on BlogTalkRadio every second Thursday at 11:00am central time. Join the discussion!
Episode 48 is entitled “Where Is The Health In Health Care?”.
The dynamics of health care, with cost, access and quality being at the forefront of the discussion, are important not only in the discussion of personal health but in the discussion of national fiscal health.
Promoting health at its most basic level would decrease costs of health care. It would decrease the cost of chronic diseases because we wouldn't have the same incidence of them. It would indirectly improve access to care because there wouldn't be as many people needing ill care.
It would require putting health back into health care. But are we ready to allow ourselves to go there?
