When Demand Exceeds Supply
Featured in: A Patient's Journey
Think "consumerism" in health care, will prevent the looming health care crisis in the US, think again!In order for "consumerism" in health care to work, the supply of health care must exceed the demand for health care services, or at the very least, the economic forces must be in equilibrium.
They aren't, and now this article in the Sunday LA Times, confirms my worst fears.
An aging America needs more doctors, but supply isn't keeping up.
Experts fear worsening quality and dangerously long waits for
appointments.

I have mantle cell lymphoma, and to be so bold as to quote a line from another blogger "it may kill me." Actually it is killing me, albeit very slowly at this point. In the mean time, I'm still able to function mostly as normal, going to work, riding my bike, playing golf and even planning for vacations.
In fact, if it wasn't for that fateful blood test of March 26, 2002, I still might not even realize I am sick.
But that isn't the case, so I decided to chronicle my life from the beginning (not from when I was born, mind you, but from that fateful day), and remembering it's not just about being sick. Even if you've been diagnosed with a terminal illness, that doesn't mean life ends.
We're all going to die, most of us just have different perspectives on when that is going to happen. It's how we deal with the living part of our lives, that makes a difference.

I noticed today that Matthew Holt, commented on this same LA Times article, but didn't seemed to agree with the conclusions.
