US health reform is well in motion, but what about our principles of prevention and wellness? It seems essential for us to focus on state efforts to ensure expanded access to vital and lifesaving natural health and integrative medicine. Our journey will shift to local efforts here in the State of Colorado. My fervent hope is our journey can be a source of guidance and inspiration as you engage as a health freedom activist in your own home state- Thanks for your tireless dedication to the principles of health and wellness!
Thanks for the breath of fresh air; being on the front lines daily with patients speaks volumes for the need of an army of primary care docs in all sectors- public, private from all walks of life. There is a critical shortage.
We also need to focus on health- and prevention of illness- if we are ever going to be able to keep the U.S Health Care Titanic from sinking.
This shift will take every one of us outside our comfort zones but will be the life preserver that this health care system needs.
All the fancy technology will mean nothing when Medicare costs deplete our Social Security reserves and truly bankrupt our nation.
I'm all for technology, efficiency and sound electronic records, but this is all "icing on the cake"; let's regroup and get back to basics. Primary care needs to play a crucial role in this process of integrating wellness, prevention and early intervention.
Thanks for listening.
