our own system
Hi there, I'm Drew Weilage and I'm working to make healthcare better for patients.
This is a blog with links to healthcare goings on, trends, and uncategorized interestingness as well as attempts to filter my own healthcare thinking through essay.
I am greatly aware of my idealistic, naive even, views on a number of topics. But frankly, I think healthcare is in dire need of more of the "what's possible/what could be" type of thinking. I'm greatly protective of my unabashed idealism but always open to reason and discourse about any of it.
This is round two of my blogging life, the first being archived here.

“Reform”
This article is sickening (“Understanding Obamacare” by Luke Mitchell). Democrats in bed with the insurers and the drug companies. The Republicans opposing healthcare reform not for idealistic “values” but because there is no other play. Someone once said to me that if we, instead of voting, randomly selected names from a phone book to represent “us” this country would be better off. Hmm.
What is so awful is that there’s not even an underdog to root for (except for the average American I suppose, but then who cares about the patient?)
The beat goes on.
