Health Care: Part 1 – Where To Now?

With so much unrest in the United States and around the world these days it is difficult to focus on the future of anything, much less, health care. Things are changing rapidly but if we can navigate these times with calmness and clear thinking we can change things for the better. Of course, I am focusing on this subject because my life experiences come from this area of our society, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts with as many people as possible so as to increase our chances of getting it right. This is part one of a series of articles on the future of health care and what our options are going forward, whether we win or lose the political battle. The most important weapon we have to win the battle is a clear understanding of health care, past, present and future.Many people think our problems started with Obamacare enacted into law in 2009, but planning for this mess started about fifty years ago by some very evil people, liberals. I was a young pharmacist and owned my own pharmacy. As a pharmacist I was but one part of the whole health care industry and worked closely with doctors, drug companies and nursing homes. This was a time in the industry where government was not involved, health insurance companies where just coming into view but were really not a significant part of the industry.Before I begin, I will tell you that even at that time in history, there were poor people who because of their circumstances or life choices were unable to afford medical help, BUT they were still tended to by doctors, hospitals, and pharmacists and often their health needs were provided by whoever treated them free of charge. I mention this because government involvement in health care began with politicians, in order to win a sympathy vote, and promising to foot the bill for the poor’s medical needs. Of course now we understand that neither government nor politicians use their own money when they promise to give us wonderful sounding programs. Government must first take money from us via taxes before they have any money to spend, and worse, like dolts we give money to politicians so they can be elected to keep making promises they can never fulfill.The mess we have today started back in the 1960′s when politicians realized the electorate was gullible to their empty promises. The politicians started these entitlement programs by providing medicaid benefits to a small group, the children of the poor, single moms and the elderly, but they did it with our tax dollars. This is how politicians get their hooks into us, they promise to help a small group and as time goes on, they expand it to include more and more. I will lay out more information in subsequent articles to lay the ground work for understand how this mess can truly be fixed if we, the citizens, are willing to work and save our freedoms. Each article will lead to a clear understanding of how a successful health care system functions to include everyone and what it looks like when you understand how all the working parts integrate.

Medical Career List – Demand For Health Care Careers

According to the bureau of labor statistics, careers in Health Care are the fastest growing. Careers in Health Care lead the list for several reasons.First, there is a tremendous demand for Health Care careers. This is primarily because our population continues to grow and health needs continue to soar. Every man woman in child will need some kind of Health Care Service sometime in their lives. In actuality, everyone will need some kind of Health Care Service many times in their lives.Second, many careers in Health Care pay well. This is because there is usually some sort of training, certification, or skill associated with jobs in this area. Below is a medical career list of the best ones. The amount of training necessary can be as little as a few months for certain Allied Health jobs or for years for nurses and doctors.Third, these jobs are generally recession proof and can survive bad economic times. There are two reasons for this: One is the ever increasing demand for Health Care Services and two, because of continued scientific discovery. Health is very dependent upon scientific discovery. The same technology that drives advances in computer and Electronic Devices also drives advances and devices and techniques for Health Care.Fourth, it is very easy to get started in a health care career. This is particularly true for this medical career list . In addition to traditional school campus learning and training, there are many online ways to receive training and certification in healthcare fields.Fifth, the demand for Health Care careers is also high because the number of jobs to be filled is higher than the number of trained people to fill them.Sixth, there is tremendous room for advancement and many of the skills you learn in one area of the health can be applied to another. Therefore, when you train for one health field job, many of the skills you learn may be transferred and applied to another.This medical career list below is not meant to be exhaustive. This list of medical careers does not focus on doctors and nurses and Physicians assistance. This is because these career paths are relatively well defined. They also take years of training which is generally not offered online. We also do not include the various technicians and therapists for the same reasons.However, we do list a number of Allied Health fields. These health fields are very popular for several reasons: they are relatively well paid; there’s a great demand for them; the training is usually short often weeks to months; much of the training is offered offline; and training is relatively inexpensive.Our Medical Career List:
