How to Take Health Care Responsibility
"Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too." - Anton Chekhov, Russian playwright
The World Health Organization reports that the United States has the 37th best health care system in the world. America's health care system is fraught with problems and its patient satisfaction is rated among the worst in the world. Even though America's health care system is envied by the world, it ranks at the bottom of many health care indicators. In the developed world, the United States is at the bottom of the list for infant mortality and life expectancy.
Health care responsibility is the process is taking control of your health care. The health care system has many problems, but great health care can be obtained if you are a smart health care consumer.
Being educated does not mean that you need to have a medical degree or even a high school diploma; it means that you know how to get and transmit critical information.
Having a system to organize and communicate your health information will significantly improve health care. You need a system to organize your medical information. Having this information improves the relationship with your doctor and having a good relationship with the physician who serves as your primary care provider is an essential step to getting optimal health care.
The current capitalistic health care system focuses on profit instead of patient care. This does not mean that you cannot receive great health care in the current system. It does mean that you will have to do more than have a good doctor. You need to take responsibility for your health care. Health care responsibility includes understanding your health and disease states, organizing your health information and communicating it with the system.
Five fast and easy things that you can do to improve your health care:
- Become educated
- Learn to communicate at doctors appointments
- Prepare before each doctor's appointment
- Know what preventative testing and treatments you need
- Practice healthy lifestyle changes – exercise and eat well, avoid smoking, tobacco and excessive alcohol

How do we fix the health care problem Republicans and Demarcates if Universal health care insurance will fail?
I made the argument for Universal health care Insurance, I have heard the arguments against it, I would like to know what would fix the problem if it won't work?
When they go to the clinic, their insurance would be accepted their, there will be doctors that accept the insurance thus giving the poor people a line to get in. How can that be a bad thing?
Julie S, well said 
It doesn't fail, almost every first world country has it setup as a system.
Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure.
The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy.
If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas.
The real problem with our system, coming from someone who has an entire family in medicine (Doctors, surgeons, nurses)...is the insurance companies. They buffer every side. The doctors, the hospital, the patients, everyone has to get insurance, and they are the ones forcing prices higher and higher.
Healthcare - where are we headed?
