Healthcare reform will come about in some shape or form at some point in time. After all, we have seen major healthcare reform initiatives since 1920 including Truman’s attempt at universal healthcare in the 1950s. Today’s healthcare reform discussions have two major flaws:
1) The word “money” is not voiced enough, and,
2) The discussion is plagued and derailed by misinformation.
The operative word missing from today’s healthcare reform discussion is money. Modifying insurance and reforming our tort system is not enough to solve this quagmire. As with many problems, the key issue is simply money. Who gets what? When do they get it? What are they paying for? And who is paying? Any useful discussion therefore must begin with an understanding of how money moves in healthcare.
