Well said, Dr. Strange. I doubt anyone would say the system is fine as it is. But as many have pointed out, one physician, one group of physicians, one large physician organization or health system can't change it. Having lived through the 50's and 60's and trained in the 70's I don't think anything short of radical change will fix it. But that won't happen - too much inertia. But maybe if the AAFP stops tip toeing on the subject and begins to put real pressure on Congress and tell the public they are not getting the best medical care they could get. Constant and repeated messages of the system's shortcomings and how it could be improved might get voters to support radical change. Or not. But I know that continuing to do the same thing will definitely not improve things.
