A Health Care Holiday Wish List
|
|
|
|
Recently health policy blogger Paul Keckley penned a health care wish list to Santa. Keckley made sure to include gifts for politicians, patients, doctors, students and executives. Editor-in-chief of MedCity News, Veronica Combs, condensed the list to her favorite wishes.
Some of the wishes include:
- I wish that every member of Congress, political pundit, journalist, consultant and lobbyist engaged in health reform debate is required to work a full day in a hospital emergency room.
- I wish U.S. high school and college curricula included a class on "how the U.S. health system works" that everyone must take to graduate.
- I wish we could connect health services and human services programs...public clinics, food stamps, mental health programs, environment and food supply...in every community to reduce redundancy and improve population health status.
