A 'total cure' for health care?

Original post made on Nov 16, 2009

Ask Harold S. "Hal" Luft about the national health care system, and he will admit: He's been itching to reform it for years. Luft is a nationally known health economist, director of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute, and author of the 318-page book, "Total Cure: The antidote to the health care crisis," published in 2008.

Finally, a THINKING man's perspective on health care and ways to make it truly better. While I may not agree with parts of what he proposes, I most certainly believe it's time to deal thoughtfully and carefully with the realities of health care and, specificaly, what is needed versus what is not, how to provide realistic funding rather than "I thought this up in the shower this morning" funding, and how to avoid the know-nothing opinions of poilical talking heads who can barely spell "health care" but are eager to trounce the other party at every opportunity.
