Description
After thirty years as an executive in the health care field, John Cleverly discloses the corruption and egoistic pushing and shoving behind the scenes. There is a good explanation for the shortage of funds, and there is an alternate method of health care delivery that is being ignored by the monopolistic health care profession.
Thirty-three years ago I began my career as a Canadian Government Hospital Inspector, in what was then a Provincial Government Hospital Insurance Service. My job was a fairly responsible one, visiting the government-owned hospitals and reporting on the fiscal performance of hospital boards and administrators. As a practical and somewhat pragmatic man, I quickly learned the economy of saying what needed to be said in my reports to government bureaucrats, and over the years made a few enemies.
Seven years into my illustrious career, I switched to the other side of the fence as a hospital administrator, and witnessed the conniving that went into the maximizing of government funding. I went along with the charade of pretending to have input into the organized medical staff of the hospital, and generally sought to keep my rear-end above the snapping crocodiles of egocentrism. For, as well as producing hypochondriacs, malingerers, and other little nasties among the patients, socialized medicine also breeds egoistic and larcenous health providers in the form of doctors, administrators, and indeed anyone who chooses to take nefarious advantage of the cornucopia of opportunity.
Doctors become elevated to god-like oracles within a monopolistic but essential medical service, and once accustomed to their revered position, they become convinced of the true worth of their own indispensable magic.
After a work life of dodging and ducking the slings of outrageous politics, I now spend part of my retirement in thankful reminiscence beneath the sunnier skies of Arizona, but unfortunately my reveries are often at discord with the views of some spurious experts, who misconstrue what little knowledge they have of the Canadian health care system and argue on behalf of a socialized service.
Medicine is a world-wide doctor dominated monopoly that is causing financial crisis in every developed nation. It is apparent that many Americans feel threatened by the possibility of disabling sickness; a possibility that could take away their savings and every shred of security ever accumulated through a lifetime of struggle. And their fear is legitimized and re-enforced by media coverage of stricken families, and the many thousands of sickness-caused bankruptcies every year.
