It’s Time to Talk Values
What we are not hearing in the health care reform debate is a discussion of values. The debate gets mired down in whether health care is a right or a responsibility; whether it is government run or privatized. These are all off the mark. What the public cares about are simple things like accountability, affordability, protection and the assurance they can get care and that the care they get is based on some care guidelines and standards. They want choice and they think we need to get rid of useless redundancies and the tsunami of paperwork.
They are a practical people who want practical solutions so they can have a health care system that works for them not against them. Coming soon: In Their Voices
