Comments on: Prevention – Got Change? http://blogs.kqed.org/healthyideas/2009/05/21/prevention-got-change/ Californians Weigh In on Health Care Reform Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:57:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: donald wilhelm, III http://blogs.kqed.org/healthyideas/2009/05/21/prevention-got-change/comment-page-1/#comment-153 donald wilhelm, III Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:09:53 +0000 http://blogs.kqed.org/healthyideas/?p=203#comment-153 Here is dialogue of what I would do if in charge of health in California: 1. End the cultural taboo against insisting on personal lifestyle change, by entering every person's lifestyle habits score in their medical record, and urgently adressing poor scores. (see the website, freehealthreform.com ). 2. Create Health Action Zones (HAZ) in economic problem areas, and blanket them with federal, state, and foundation grant money, to set up demonstration projects to reduce chronic disease. Both indirect strategies, like social determinates of health, and direct strategies, like treating lifestyle habits as disease causes to be urgently addressed, would be used. Since the HAZ areas are in health crisis, emergency powers would exempt providers from the entrenched constraints enforced by legal and cultural interests. a. medical interests: tell people the truth, that their health plan of the existing model - Symptom Diagnosis - is structurly incapable of keeping anyone healthy. b. marketing interests: Tell people the truth, that eating red meat, white flour or rice, and riding in cars is causing chronic disease. c. educational interests: the professors, and the M.D.'s they train, are ignoring clear data on the causes of 85% of all health problems, and costs, and just let people suffer 20 years of full-body damage, waiting for symptoms to emerge, and then using this as reason to make efforts at lifestyle change. d. law enforcement interests: the barbaric and inefective putting people in cages for non-violent offenses. With a little thought, they could do contributory work, instead. These HAZ zones would soon demonstrate that people are naturally healthy if the proper genes are expressed, and the improper ones turned off. These oppressed populations would welcome these urgent efforts, and would not complain about unbiased straight (truthful) information. They do not have the option to switch providers if asked to make extra efforts, as more wealthy people would do.
