Eric Dishman: Take health care off the mainframe

A rich and thought-provoking video that needs to be seen more and discussed widely and, more important, acted on. There's more than enough here to consider about health care and how we provide it, but the presentation is even more important in the context of the health care reform debate playing out right now. First off, when you think about it, Dishman demolishes in only 17 minutes the notion that US health care systems are the best in the world. We have to be willing to accept that fact and move forward. But we've also got to do something about our political system. Here's a brilliant, concise, and compelling statement of a problem and a presentation of a path forward. I've got to believe that Dishman is only one of many who can offer proposals like this. So why is the national debate about the cost, the size of the deficit, the size of government, and the possibility of socialism. What if we elected representatives and senators who made it their business to review ideas like the one proposed here and find ways to bring it about instead of posturing, namecalling, and protecting special interests? Can you imagine what an exciting country we could live in if we would make the effort to put our focus someplace else?
