Framed by Alice Maher

I’m an MD and insurance and billing problems take up a huge amount of time. It seems to me that universal healthcare is needed, but I’d like the opportunity to talk about the problem with people who see other aspects - political, financial, medical, and moral.

I'm a physician and I spend a lot of my time dealing with insurance issues, various kinds of healthcare documentation and billing and coding and mistakes made and different costs for patients and patients changing insurance and not having insurance. It seems to me it would be much easier and cheaper if we had universal healthcare. Now I know there are problems with that, serious problems, so I would like to enter an arena where I can talk with other people about the pros and cons of healthcare system, not just we need this period, but here are the problems we face and here are the complexities on more abstract levels, on concrete levels, and let's think it through and figure out the most appropriate path forward. Thanks for engaging with me.
