[quote=sdrealtor]Just got an email from friend the world traveling physician and he’s coming to visit me this week. I cant wait to get his perspective on healthcare around the world. He’s at ground zero and is constantly on the road in modern countries and third world countries consulting on delivery of health care for the WHO and the Clinton Foundation. He is one of the most interesting people you could ever meet. I wish I could have a few of you over to meet him but I havent seen him in several years and we have too much catching up to do. I let you all know what I learn from him.[/quote]
Looking forward to hearing his perspective.
Also, remember that a physician might have a different perspective than a patient would. We have a doctor friend who’s opposed to “socialized medicine” because she’s concerned about how it might affect physician pay.
IMHO, healthcare should be about the patients’ health, first and foremost. In my “ideal world,” doctors would be some of the most highly paid people, but their pay, or desire to drive fancy cars and live in fancy houses, should not be what drives healthcare.

January 3, 2011 at 7:38 PM #647642sdrealtorParticipantMy friend is driven by helping people not money. I’ll send you a link to his personal travel website and you can see for yourself.

Since he lives in Thailand, ask him about the Thai health care system, not for the very poor that the Clinton Foundation is wanting to help, but for the middle-class who can afford to pay out of pocket.
Professionals in Thailand can pay out of pocket because the costs the costs are reasonable when compared their incomes. In America, someone without health insurance is pretty much SOL if something bad happens.
