T1 We are first per capita in#healthcarecosts, yet we are 37th in@WHONews rankings of health outcomes.#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:08:09 PDT 2011 
MedPedsDoctor
Given that health care costs are the biggest impact on the GDP, discussions aboutwhat to do with HC are a BIG deal#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:08:14 PDT 2011 
RichmondDoc
T1 We are the worst among developed Western nations in the quality of the healthcarewe provide...despite the costs.#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:08:39 PDT 2011 
EMIMDoc
Agree with all you guys are saying, but for some reason people become sheepisharound healthcare. There is no rage.#MDchat
Tue Oct 11 18:09:15 PDT 2011 
RichmondDoc
@MedPedsDoctorAh...I am too optimistic, then.#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:09:53 PDT 2011 
EMIMDoc
@RichmondDocI wish. I think the only way that will happen is if this movementdevelops into a mature, long term type of thing.#MDchat

JediPD
Part of the cost differential between US & other Western countries is their SUBSIDIZEDpharma drugs. In US it is 24c of each HC $#mdchat

RichmondDoc
@EMIMDocLong term movement is indeed necessary...but every long termmovement has to start with a kernel of activism.#mdchat

T1 Focus on insurance reform is over emphasized. Changing Health Care (2 words) ismore important ¬ well addressed. 2 much blurr#MDChat

MedPedsDoctor
Great article on how docs can help control costs:http://t.co/WukKcvs5 #mdchat

Mark: love your phrase: kernel of activism. Now THAT is how advocacy truly starts!#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:13:02 PDT 2011 
 
RichmondDoc
@ElinSilveousAnd we should *all* be outraged...but for now many of the costs areborne by employers--but this is changing.#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:13:05 PDT 2011 
RichmondDoc
@ElinSilveousThere is more and more cost shifting onto patients/employees/families.There is a limit to what can be tolerated.#mdchat

T1 The relationship between health and life for 99%. Example, foreclosures aremaking people sick, literally.#OccupyHealth #MDChat

RichmondDoc
@NateOsit @JediPDPhRMA has more lobbyists on Capitol Hill than there are legislators. Deck is notably stacked.#mdchat
Tue Oct 11 18:14:20 PDT 2011 
EMIMDoc
@apjonasAnd also, health insurance does NOT equal health care. They are inbusiness to make money, provide certain benefits, etc.#MDchat
Tue Oct 11 18:14:20 PDT 2011 
RichmondDoc
@JediPDAnd as a result, patients pay far less for necessary medications...#mdchat

T1 The road to lower costs will be tough. More preventive care, actually *valuing*health (not illness), more primary care...#mdchat
