Real Change in Healthcare

Real Change in Healthcare 

By: Greg Borca

Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data demonstrates a 400% increase in healthcare spending over the past 25 years. Employer healthcare premiums have more than doubled during the last six years, a time in which physician incomes have trended downward. Consumer expectations are higher than ever, since we often ignore the consequences of our choices and expect the medical system to fix our problems completely, today and for free. Our multi-trillion dollar healthcare system is broken, and frustrated consumers are not even sure who is to blame.

I can offer this prediction: Governmental reform of healthcare will fail — not because I am hedging experience against the plan, but because the current plan simply does not reform healthcare. The current discussion about reforming healthcare has retreated to a mere expansion of coverage of the uninsured, with debate about the taxes and revenue sources necessary to pay the costs. The reason we have so many uninsured in this country is the spiraling costs and eroding benefit coverage. Our broken healthcare system requires true reform, so that every American doesn’t end up on the government plan due to a lack of affordable coverage, with the excessive cost structure simply shifted to the federal government.

Can’t make it to England this weekend?

Then come to Milwaukee!

Just a couple miles down the road from Scion’s HQ is one of the Milwaukee area’s finest public golf courses, Brown Deer Park Golf Course. This week Milwaukee is playing host to the 42nd U.S. Bank Championship. So if you can’t find an affordable flight to see Tiger Woods at the British Open, why not swing by Scion Dental to tee off a relationship with us…and at least see the course, and walk the fairways, where Tiger Woods made his PGA debut in 1996.
