From The Brainerd Dispatch?..
If you are anything like me, you have spent the last 10 days listening to President Barack Obama and his Republican challengers accuse each other of being the meanest miser when it comes to denying health care to seniors. Unless you are an actuary or have a fondness for, and facility with, budget math, you were probably left wondering what and whom to believe.
That?s the good news. The bad news is, nothing that has been enacted (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010) or proposed (Republican Representative Paul Ryan?s ?Path to Prosperity?) addresses the fundamental problem plaguing the U.S. health-care system: It is designed to manage disease rather than promote wellness.
Where do Middle East potentates go when they get sick? The United States, of course. This country has the highest success rates when it comes to treating disease.
America?s life-expectancy rates, on the other hand, pale in comparison with other developed and developing nations, even though the U.S. outspends them by a huge margin. Imagine what the U.S. could do if it harnessed its resources and talent and focused on disease prevention.
