Urge Congress To Make Health Care a Service, Not a Business!

For everyone living in the United States I encourage you to:

URGE CONGRESS TO MAKE HEALTH CARE A SERVICE AND NOT A BUSINESS.

Here is the link to to write to Congress to https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

The last I heard Congress had a dismal 9% approval rating.

Here is also the link to find your Senator http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

So why should you write to Congress?

Well here is what other dental professionals are saying about my website.

“I know this is a bit wordy, but our professional reputation may have become tainted because of a few who have reached national notoriety in a negative light. I don’t know how prevalent such unethical practices are, but we should all remember that patients don’t get mad at one doctor or one office, they paint the whole profession. It’s up to all of us to keep that reputation high.”

“Why should we do the ethical and get nothing while the others trample on us.”

”Some others, he noted, have proclaimed ‘what they think is their rightful place’ within the nation’s health care system. “Not on my watch!” Dr. Calnon said emphatically, stirring applause from the delegates.”

Others have resorted to calling me a hack.

The Declaration of Indepedence states:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

As described on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life,_liberty_and_the_pursuit_of_happiness

John Locke, in his 1689 “A Letter Concerning Toleration,” wrote that “Civil interest I call life, liberty, health, and indolency of body; and the possession of outward things…”

William Wollaston’s 1722 book The Religion of Nature Delineated describes the “truest definition” of “natural religion” as being “The pursuit of happiness by the practice of reason and truth.”

I believe that my website lists truthful statements of which I found from my research. If you feel any of the information is inaccurate, false, or wrong then send me an email.

I firmly believe that you should have the right to make a reasonable living as a dentist or oral surgeon performing dental care; however, it is my belief than in most cases regarding healthy wisdom teeth not causing problems they should not be removed as indicated at http://www.teethremoval.com/wisdomteeth.html

I also believe patients should be able to have the right to pursue the knowledge and facts and information concerning removing wisdom teeth before having the surgery performed.

Further I believe that anyone have surgery performed would expect their healthcare provider to be making recommendations in regards to the practice of reason and truth.

Unfortunately, the current medical system is a business that is based on a fee for service model.

Don’t blame me I didn’t make the system.

The system should be changed.

The fee for service model should be eliminated.

In addition, it is unfair to ask medical professionals to have protection from liability hanging over their heads every step of the way which prevents them from sharing medical information amongst each other which prevents high quality care.

URGE CONGRESS TO MAKE HEALTH CARE A SERVICE AND NOT A BUSINESS.

So I don’t see a video like this everyday. The Goodman Cancer Research Centre http://cancercentre.mcgill.ca/research/ released a video which shows many dancing in the support of cancer research along to the tune of Taio Cruz – Dynamite.

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

Latest Happenings – Healthcare – McCain – Obama

Posted on 27. Oct, 2008 by wisdom.

I wanted to post about some of the recent developments and soon to be developments that are happening relating to the dental community and my website. I feel that there are some important issues currently occuring.

First off, I want to thank dk from PurposeInc.com for the Chiptole burrito coupon. I won a free burrito coupon from a contest he was running on his blog.

Next off the U.S. election is fast approaching. On Novemeber 4th, 2008 millions of Americans will vote for their next president. I recently wrote an article over on Associated Content discussing the issues faced by Americans with the recent government bailout and it’s impact on the health system. Further I addressed some of the issues regarding Obama and McCain and their plans for healthcare.

If you suffer from chronic health problems the best choice is to move to another country. Neither candidate has a health care plan that works. Both continue to use the same old policies that leave over 45 million Americans without health care. Therefore, TeethRemoval.com is not endorsing either candidate.

However, if you will be voting in the election and you are concerned about your health care the better choice is Barack Obama. McCain wants to radically change the current health care system. Even so, the best choice is to move to a different country that has a health care plan that doesn’t leave it’s citizens bankrupt and forced to wait until the problem is so bad that they can receive treatment at the Emergency Room.

If these issues interest you I encourage you to read and explore http://www.pnhp.org

Healthcare Consumer Empowerment

Posted on 19. Aug, 2008 by wisdom.

Consumer empowerment, a growing method of healthcare management for employers and healthcare organizations, involves empowering yourselves by learning how to become wiser healthcare consumers.

The following are 10 ways to achieve healthcare consumer empowerment.

1. Establish a relationship with a primary physician — before you need one. Discuss your health and family with your doctor. If you don’t have a primary physician find one.

2. Ask questions. In fact, I think it is a great idea to bring questions with you on a piece of paper, so you do not forget to ask them.

3. Learn about your illness. Research and ask your physician questions. There is a lot of information available to you.

4. Learn how to practice self-care. In times of emergency or injury remember to follow RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation)

5. Review bills carefully. Sometimes errors do happen, if you can’t look after the bills yourself, ask a family or friend to help you. Check them twice later on to make sure you were billed correctly.

6. Check your Provider Directory. It is important to find out if the doctor you are seeing participates in your health insurance plan.

7. Know your prescriptions. It is important to tell your doctor or nurse all of the prescriptions you are taking so that they can know if something else with interact. If you can’t remember, write it down!

8. Carefully read your Certificate of Coverage and Summary of Covered Benefits. Know and understand your healthcare benefits.

9. Use the emergency department for medical emergencies only.

10. Live a healthy lifestyle. Eat a healthy diet; wear your seat belt; perform monthly breast or testicular self-exams; don’t smoke; get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night; exercise at least three times a week for 20 minutes; and drink in moderation.
