It's NOT Health Care, It's Disease Managment

Benjamyn Smith Episode 9

Let's talk health care! It's a subject many people are concerned about. Costs have gone up dramatically since I was in my late teens first shopping for my own policy. But the cost of health care isn't what I'm here to talk about. While that's a major problem with our current system, what I want to talk about is how our system isn't really a health care system.

 A health care system would want to get to the root of your problem and eliminate it. But that's not what our system does. It prescribes a drug, often one you have to take for the rest of your life. You see, what we have is not health care, it's disease management.
