Interesting Article on Proposed Health Care Plan

Written from an doctor's point of view, but it makes some interesting points I think.

My concern is that the same will happen to pharmaceutical care, especially community pharmacy. I guess I find it interesting that the same subset of citizens who beg for organic food and no-hormone chicken, giving the assumption that they desire things to be more pure, fair, wholesome, good for the community, also beg for a health care system that could do the opposite.

I completely agree that health care must be reformed and effiency must be improved, but I don't feel like this plan, if what is written is in fact true, is the answer. What is the answer, I don't know that either. That is why I have stayed fairly quiet on the issue. I don't really like offering criticism and not offer an alternative. That seems cheap to me.

I do find it encouraging that the top 10 health care companies have pledged 10 trillion dollars in cost savings over the next 10 years. Definitely a good start.
