Disruptive Women in Health Care
September 26, 2008
This new movement and blog is a great way to focus on the health care debate for women. Written by women who are leaders in health care, it already presents opinions and education on a variety of topics. Today’s post is by Missy Krasner of Google Health (opinions are her own and not her employer’s). She makes some good points – the underinsured are us, people are getting there information online and from non-experts, people are spending money to stay young and beautiful (and hopefully well). She concludes, “healthcare reform enthusiasts should take a hard look at what consumers are already doing today.”
I think she is on point – healthcare reform should not look back but look forward and finally begin to address the problems of the uninsured, underinsured as they exist today.
