Health care, we have a problem

By Russ Gerber

In case you were beginning to wonder, here’s a reminder: Health is normal. It’s easy to lose sight of that given all the books and reports and advertisements insisting that it’s not. Gloomy statistics fill in the picture of a health care model that is faced with trouble on several fronts. More than anything else the “E” word keeps coming up. That’s expensive, rather than effective.

“OK,” you may be thinking, “but what choice do we have? Despite its flaws there’s no serious alternative capable of restoring health.”

A lot of people believe that’s true. But I know some who take health care very seriously and yet who have a different view. I join them in saying there is another way and it has proven to be an effective one.
