Dr. Deane Waldman brings clarity, understanding and a workable solution to our sick U.S. healthcare system

We can fix healthcare

Failed Healthcare Fix: Government Healthcare

Some people believe that the government should be in charge of the entire healthcare system. That is what they do in Great Britain, Canada, and France. They call their systems where the government controls the healthcare system and therefore controls the people’s medical care, Single Payer systems.

Government-Controlled Healthcare (Single Payer)

CLAIM: Government control will reduce inefficiency

FACT: This is deceptive advertising. Government healthcare costs you nothing, that is, nothing directly out-of-pocket. It costs you more than you can afford or want to spend through increased direct and indirect taxes. The Canadian Province of Alberta spends over 40% of all its tax revenue on its healthcare system!

CLAIM: Government healthcare will be cheaper

FACT: This is deceptive advertising. Government healthcare costs you nothing, that is, nothing directly out-of-pocket. It costs you more than you can afford or want to spend through increased direct and indirect taxes. The Canadian Province of Alberta spends over 40% of all its tax dollars on its healthcare system!

CLAIM: Government healthcare will provide better care

FACT: How does medical rationing produce “better care”? Government healthcare systems use rationing to reduce spending. They simply deny us the expensive treatments that we need. Obamacare is scheduled to do the same thing — ration care — through its IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board).

Details and further proof are available in Chapter 7 of The Cancer in the American Healthcare System, in the section titled, Final Myth.

Washington has passed numerous “fixes” for our healthcare system over the past fifty years. They all can be grouped under the two-word approach: “Trust me!” How has “Trust me,” turned out for us?

"The Cancer in the American Healthcare System"

Dr. Waldman's new
eye-opening book lays bare the disaster that has befallen both patients and doctors over the last 50 years due to government and administrative involvement into health care. Today close to 50% of healthcare spending goes NOT to doctors to pay for care, but to administrators who manage the miles of red tape introduced by ever increasing number of government regulations.
