U.S. Health Care Reform: Setting the Record Straight with Scott Atlas

Senior Hoover Fellow Scott Atlas revisits facts about medical care quality, as well as access to care, compares those with nationalized systems often held up as models and analyzes the impact of the Affordable Care Act. Acknowledging the challenges facing the healthcare system, he proposes a six-point plan to restore incentives to increase healthcare quality and reduce costs.

Scott Atlas is the David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He researches the impact of government and the private sector on access, quality, pricing, and innovation in health care, and he is a frequent policy adviser. His most recent book is Restoring Quality Health Care: A Six Point Plan for Comprehensive Reform at Lower Cost. From 1998 to 2012, he was a professor and Chief of Neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Atlas also advises entrepreneurs and companies in the life sciences, medical technology, and health information technology sectors.

This talk was recorded at Stanford Reunion Homecoming 2017.

What I Want

Since the elected and well paid politicians of both parties, seem incapable of the intelligence to come up with a plan that addresses health care, infrastructure, jobs, taxes, or education, I thought, as a normal and thoughtful Citizen of the USA, I would present my own plan for consideration and modification by interested citizens.

I want a newly built health clinic in each county in the whole USA (including all territories), offering conventional and helpful medicines and treatments, experimental and alternative modes of healing and public health which is responsible for the testing of individual persons (regardless of legal status), testing of food and water and the health of the environment.

All labor and most of materials are to come from local sources. Expertise can come from anywhere.


Finance will come from local sources and backed by the federal government, as it’s #1 priority, above all other spending.

The opening would be attended by the Congressional Representative from that district, the Constitution of the USA shall be read (in full) and “Washington Post March” by John Philip Sousa, shall be played by a local band.

.There is more, but, this is good for a start.

Sincerely,
Georgemarc Schevene
