Medicine is not proactive it is reactive, and that must stop if we are to arrest the slide of our national health and speeding encroachment of the costs on our tax base.
Doctors should be healers, not drug dealers.
Doctors need to be actively...proactively...working with the people they serve to help them develop a better lifestyle, AND stop serving those who refuse to make an effort....
Free or cheap healthcare for those who strive to better themselves and full cost service to those who refuse.
Maybe that's tough love, maybe just the enlightened self-interest of our country to stop its people from slowly killing themselves, but either way we need it.
Our clinics will serve those who want a better life.
Those who show it in deeds and not just words will have this vital service at no charge as long as we can afford to provide it, otherwise at discount.
