The US does not have a healthcare system, but we do have a fantastic sickcare system if you want to be unwell. We really suck at wellness and reversing lifestyle-induced diseases. We certainly aren't preventing them. And it's even more sad than this because the truth is, we don't really want to do better (although we tell ourselves and each other that we do). When I was in medical school, we were taught that lifestyle change was always the first tool for the treatment of disease. I rarely saw this practiced in residency and in the decade following, I can't remember the last time a doctor told me to change my lifestyle before prescribing a medication. If this is happening to me as a physician when I'm a patient, I know it is happening everywhere else as well. But this is not new. The government is not going to change this. Neither is insurance. Or hospitals and healthcare systems. These Goliaths of "healthcare" have every motivation and bias to NOT change. Don't believe me? How much were the executives at these companies paid last year? And yet insurance premiums continue to rise, claims are denied, medications are withheld, diagnostic tests are delayed and patient responsibility out-of-pocket costs are bankrupting people. I'm not even going to pretend that we will see change in the foreseeable future. So what should we do? Each of us, as individuals, must break free from the paradigm of managing chronic diseases with medication. We must adopt a mindset centered on preventing disease, reversing disease when present and sustaining healthy changes over time. We must change our habits. This means we also must change the thoughts leading to these habits. We must be intentional. I believe we are the David in this story and it's time for each of us to take individual action in our own health. What do you think we should do? Share your insights, stories and ideas below.

Question sent to Ask Julian: I have a family member living in a nursing home. His nursing home costs are paid by Medical Assistance (Medicaid). He owns a home in his name only. Will the State take his home when he dies and is it too late to save the home or some of it's equity since he's already in a nursing home and receiving Medicaid?It's a complicated question, but we have the answer: https://lnkd.in/eeazzTAEStay informed by emailing askjulian@grayelderlaw.com to ask your question or to be added to our email list.

Insurance is an expense. Healthcare is an investment.This is a video I did a year ago talking about lack of access to a primary care provider. This remains true today and every day unless we change our mindset of what healthcare is.Access to a primary care physician is key to receiving the care needed anytime, anywhere. There area myriad of stories from patients who experience less than optimal care from a traditional system then findSALTA Direct Primary Care.

Carte Clinics is on a mission to be the one place we can all count on for medical answers. We know how hard it is to make sense of symptoms, health advice broadcasted by influencers, and our own test results. We know how surprisingly little evidence is available as you choose which doctors, digital services, or products to entrust with something as precious as your health. We’re doctors who think it’s our job to be there for patients for all of those tough moments. After working in a medical system that doesn’t take responsibility for patients getting lost, we made our own way.Members can call on Carte Clinics doctors any hour of the day, including weekends and holidays, to get connected to immediate answers and a national network of offices, facilities, and digital services across more than 200 specialties. Carte Clinics handles researching, insurance questions, and scheduling so our members don’t have to. Instead of a health system that’s hard to get a hold of with hoops to jump through, we’re making one led by doctors who know you and take responsibility for finding the best path for your needs. We love connecting with like-minded patients and health practitioners as we’re growing: follow our page, send us a DM to say hi, and if you’re interested in keeping up with our research and some of our favorite health tools, or sign up for our newsletter (https://lnkd.in/ebSQZBtf).
