Our Healthcare System Is Neither Healthy, Caring, Nor a System!

Health care should be about dedicated & continuous care more than interventionist & episodic cures. Our healthcare categorizes whatever it can to apply standardized practices whose results can be measured. When the categories fit, this works wonderfully well. The physician diagnoses appendicitis & operates; some administrator ticks the appropriate box & pays. But what happens when the fit fails, when patients fall outside the categories or across several categories or need to be treated as people beneath the categories.
The inequality between healthcare providers, between the health status of healthcare users, between public health insured services, between the health literacy of citizens, is a massive gulf that prevents effective outcomes. In this course we’ll look at why market control of health care is crass, state control is crude, professional control is closed & why we need all three; in their place. We’ll look at models that reduce this citizen & worker inequality!
