Restoring Accountability in Medical Practice by Non-Participation in Government Programs and Understanding the Devastating Force of Government

by admin on 04/03/2018 7:37 AM

In private practice a physician is always beholden to his patient. They evaluate him on every office call and treatment rendered. In any government practice, whether Medicare, Medicaid, or VA, the physician must always answer to his superior. If he can’t justify his treatment to the satisfaction of his superior, he may be separated from his position, his income and livelihood causing devastation of the investment in his education by his parents, relatives, and the state causing a huge loss, not only of his position in the community of physicians as well as the community that he lives in, but also in his future viability to earn a living.

After describing how students are regularly subject to profiling through “assessments” and coerced into changing their worldviews through subversive, dialectical classroom techniques based on peer pressure, Beverly Eakman shares with us how we can all PUSH BACK! through logic, awareness and strength of character to resist the seemingly-inexorable slide towards a New World Order.
    Healthcare needs to develop these same strategies to PUSH BACK!

  • Americans for Tax Reform, atr.org/, Grover Norquist, President, keeps us apprised of the Cost of Government Day® Report, Calendar Year 2014. Cost of Government Day (COGD) is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government on the federal, state and local levels. Cost of Government Day for 2014 was July 6th a ten-day increase above last year’s revised date of July 16th. With July 6th as the COGD, working people must toil on average 186 days out of the year just to meet all the costs imposed by government. In other words, the cost of government consumes 53 percent of national income. If we were to put health care into the public trough, the additional 17 percent of GDP that healthcare costs, would allow the government to control 70 percent or nearly three-fourths of our productivity and destroy our health care in the process. We would have almost no discretionary income.

  • Evolving Excellence—Lean Enterprise Leadership. Kevin Meyer, CEO of Superfactory, has a newsletter which impacts health care in many aspects. Join his evolving excellence blog . . . Excellence is every physician’s middle name and thus a natural affinity for all of us.  This month read The Customer is the Boss at FAVI “I came in the day after I became CEO and gathered the people. I told them tomorrow when you come to work, you do not work for me or for a boss. You work for your customer. I don’t pay you. They do . . . You do what is needed for the customer.” And with that single stroke, he eliminated the central control: personnel, product development, purchasing…all gone. Looks like something we should import into our hospitals. I believe every RN, given the opportunity, could manage her ward of patients or customers in similar lean and efficient fashion.
