Return to Healing: Common Sense Health Care
Primary care part one: Why it's so Important
We look at the role of primary care in our health care system and discuss why it is the crucial ingredient to save lives, lower cost, and help people feel better and be healthier. As we gravitate toward a technician-run specialized system that rewards expensive drugs, tests, and procedures rather than whole-person holistic care, we are devaluing primary care and valuing what makes our system worse. We talk about the data showing how a viable primary care system is crucial to any reform and why this is not occurring.
