Not news, but health care in the U.S. is eff’ed up.

Last week, an oral surgeon performed a biopsy in my mouth. This is a surgical procedure. But because they are an ORAL surgeon, they are not allowed to submit a claim to Medicare, which, for better or, in this case, worse, is now my primary insurance carrier.

Health care in the U.S. is eff’ed up. Not news.

Watching this vid on property #taxes by #StrongTowns makes me wonder: what does America do right, society-wise? What does America do better than other developed nations?

We don't have #UniversalHealthcare, and #healthcare expenses are outrageous.

Our progressive tax system has been defanged by moneyed interests.

Our time off policies are pathetic, with paid childcare leave being rare to non-existent.

Our minimum wage is ridiculously low.

We've turned local law enforcement into military nuts, with LEO rarely facing true repercussions for committing crimes thanks to their ~~unions~~ gangs.

Voting is not compulsory, nor is easy everywhere, with plenty of hurdles depending on location/ethnicity.

The list goes on & on.

What does America do right 🤔

Next was an important conversation on pursuing #healthcare equity through systems improvement at the Harvard Medical School Center for #Bioethics with Kedar Mate, David Ansell, and Nancy Berlinger. I think a lot of the points here could be adapted to tech and business broadly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8YPtrabCZ4 (7/13)

Healthcare in this country is AWFUL. Like, I know it's bad elsewhere, but y'all have no idea how pervasively EVIL the whole United States healthcare system is.

"The [medical credit] cards also don't provide the same type of financial protections as debt held by a health care organization, according to a new report from U.S. Public Interest Research Group. That's because any charges on these cards aren't considered medical debt, unlike a bill owed to a hospital or health care office, the consumer advocacy group notes."

Is it personality, nurture, life stage or even genes that make one long to be part of groups?

“The #HousingCrisis, #ClimateCrisis, #HealthCare crisis, and #affordability crisis aren’t communications failures. They’re #policy failures. They’re material challenges stemming from the way government policies — at home and abroad, local, provincial, and federal — shape Canadians’ lives.” https://mstdn.ca/@Catelli/111041375975449289

“30 Days of US Healthcare: How to Ace Your UHC Interview” from Dr. Glockomflecken.

"America's nurses are stressed out to the point where they are leaving the industry. By 2027, nearly a fifth of registered nurses will hang up their scrubs for good, according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing....For the ones that are working, Moffatt said some are now looking for nursing jobs outside a hospital setting."

Healthcare in Canada is generally better than in the US, because they have a form of UHC.

But there are serious issues. This video casually comments about long wait times in the ER.

And if you’ve been paying any attention to what Ford’s been doing, you’ll find that the British pattern of the healthcare being intentionally degraded is repeating in Canada.

“I think this [distinction] is really important,” said Ashley Ward, director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at Duke University who was not involved in the study. “Most of the research around pregnant women has centered on acute events like a heat wave … but honestly, what we are all experiencing this summer is an excellent example of really what I would consider chronic heat exposure.”
