For Beyond 50's "Medical Care" talks, listen to an interview with Dr. Lindsay Pratt. He predicts the nation's framework for patient care will crumble by 2025 as costs become prohibitive and physician numbers dwindle. His message is a much-needed wake-up call to the public and proposes potential solutions to get the nation back to its roots of patient-focused care and back on track. He proposes that Medicaid should be replaced with state-sponsored health maintenance organizations (HMOs) for patients unable to pay for their medical services, and he likened these programs to the city, county and local free healthcare facilities he worked in for about 20 years prior to 1970, when Medicare and Medicaid shuttered them. Ultimately, Dr. Pratt says, those who are purchasing health insurance has only benefitted the companies providing the insurance in the first place – not themselves.
