“Sometimes it takes a prick to solve health care”
Our brain is a belief engine fueled by outside stimuli, recorded, sorted and placed in filing cabinets in our cranial warehouse to be retrieved at will when needed.
Recordkeeping systems are not always perfect. Ours is no different. Our cranial recordkeeping system malfunctions at times. Sometimes we believe something is real when its not and other times we don’t believe something is real when it is.
The former is called False/Positive and the latter False/Negative
The filing cabinet marked “Health Care” is an example. It’s not a perfect system. It can malfunction and it often does.
Here are a few examples:
“My records indicate that…………..”
- Managed care networks save money
- Quality of care is directly proportional to the cost of care
- All doctors are created equal (Including Dr. Hodad)
- My employer pays for my health insurance because I don’t
- Dr. Google is never wrong
- M.D. Anderson – Houston – Best cancer care in the world
- Hospital won’t take my insurance because it sucks
- Commissioned health insurance brokers work for me
- Health care is a human right
- Only government can solve health care
- Type II diabetes is uncurable
- Autism is strictly hereditary
- All Duexis costs is a $20 co-pay
- Good news! Our group rates didn’t go up this year
- Hospitals lose money on Medicare patients
- Blue Cross is a non-profit organization
- Scale matters in health insurance pricing
- Health insurance consultants are unbiased
- Actuaries don’t exist because I’ve never met one
- Hospital in-take clerks are cruel and inhuman
- Doctors are always on time
- Hospital pre-certification saves money
- Deductibles save money
The level of accuracy of a prognosis of a probability of a benefit based on recordkeeping perceptions has proven to be greatly improved through a series of critical thinking vaccination boosters available at the RiskManagers Therapy Clinic.
