Change Hospitals When Your Hospital Gags Your Doctor: Hospital Safety For Patient and Doctor

1.  Tax Credits For Free Care
     Settle the incentive issue by legislating tax credits to doctors who treat uninsured patients.  This approach requires no massive bureaucracy.

4.  Institute Non-Profit (Mutual) Competitive State-Sponsored Insurance Companies (e.g. The Vanguard Group in mutual funds) As An Option, Not A Requirement  

7. Safety-Reforms

2.  Random Audits For Fiscal Responsibility

 
 
 
5.  Chart On Demand:  Stop Forcing Nurses To Spend 25% of Time "Documenting" For Lawyers

3.  Let Patients--Through Encryption--Control The Privacy of All Their Personal Information--Financial, Genetic, Medical, etc.  We are all patients.

6. No Pink Slips: Furlough Instead of Firings. Click here.
