Health Care “Reform”??

The public has been grossly mislead….Socialized medicine does NOT work, has NOT worked for Canada nor Great Britain.  Canadian citizens flood our northern hospitals where they can pay for the healthcare they need because it is illegal for them to do so in their own country.

I’ve been through this before…with Mr Clinton…only it was called “Managed Care” back in the early 90’s and it ultimately led to my retiring from medicine.  I still feel being a Physician is the Greatest profession….only a lousy business.   Back then doctors rushed to start “Rehab” clinics which provided additional revenue at first…later rules and regulations made it nearly impossible for doctors to own Rehab facilities.   Today’s doctors are rushing to open “Medical Spas” and I believe new rules and regulations will make that avenue nearly impossible in the near future.

The saddest part of both attempts at healthcare “reform” is that older doctors leave the field…taking their wisdom and experience with them.  Leaving the younger doctors to work from textbooks, and flowcharts provided by reimbursement schedules.

I recommend young people that choose to become a doctor have another stream of income to rely upon both while going to school and after.  And I recommend that today’s doctors develop another stream of income immediately.

About Dr Bill Toth

Bill’s Background I’m just an average guy who’s learned a few things about Life, Success and Personal Development – thanks to some incredibly good and bad experiences during the past 25+ years. I’ve made many mistakes and have learned to combine down to earth values with a unique ability to distill complex concepts into simple powerful strategies which can be immediately applied to produce measurable results. In short; “I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them” I do not consider myself to be an “expert” and my work is never presented as the definitive doctrine on how you should live your life or what it takes to be successful in your business. I am a work in progress and if you were to you join me on life’s journey by hiring me as your coach or partnering with us in business – our learning will very likely be a two way street. In fact, I expect it to be. “What you know dies with you – what you DO leaves a legacy” I was raised in upstate New York and eastern Pennsylvania. This rural upbringing is strongly reflected in my personal value hierarchy: Faith > Family > Friends > Fitness and Finance. Education and a commitment to continuous improvement are next on the list. All these and more are strongly reflected in my coaching, teaching, writing and speaking. While growing my private practice I also taught Orthopedics and Neurology at both the undergraduate and graduate level, produced a TV show on fitness, appeared on numerous radio and TV programs, authored numerous journal articles, chapters for medical texts, served as vice-president of my state medical association, and started a family. I have had the honor and privilege of consulting with and coaching a diverse population of people from royalty to prisoners, from children to CEO’s, from amateur to professional athletes from 41 countries and people of almost every race, creed, religious belief and nationality. I am passionately committed to contribution and Living With Intention. Part of my philosophy is to think globally while acting locally. I am a very active member of my church, as well as several community organizations. After church, my favorite philanthropy is the Nourish the Children. I have also performed extensive volunteer work for both the Anthony Robbins Foundation, and the Make a Wish Foundation. Why become an Entrepreneur? I became an entrepreneur because after 5 years of Health Care Reform I found I was merely an employee of the various insurance company’s I was interacting with. I became painfully aware I was working more hours for less money and that what I was doing wasn’t working! At the same time my beautiful daughter, Casey, was born. This was the first time in my life I started to think about my future, and of course hers. When children come into your life, your perspective changes from Firebirds and Ferrari’s to Gymnastics, music lessons, horseback riding and so forth. Suddenly, I had to think longterm – was what I was doing going to provide all the things that a father wants for his children? In October of 1998 I started my entrepreneurial endeavors on a very part time basis. Less than 3 months later my New Year’s Resolution was to put my practices up for sale. In May of 1999 I sold them and began to work on my dreams and my fortune on a full time basis. From there, it took me a full five years to get to the point where I could do whatever I wanted to do. Along the way I wrote my first book: “Morning Moments”…as well as learning a few things about money, transitioning careers and happiness. I am happy to share what I know, in short again; “I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them” In summary; Transitioning careers was the hardest challenge I’ve ever taken up and it’s been the most rewarding! In so many ways, this is the very best personal development seminar I’ve ever taken because I met mySelf and my wife in the process…and every perceived adversity was worth it. Today, with my wife Julie, we “get to” pay the gift forward by coaching, mentoring others through the same process. There is no greater pleasure than showing others how to earn their freedom and then observing what good they do with it. Life Will Never Be The Same

    Did you know that, according to a study by Health Canada (the equivalent of the Department of Health), almost 12 times as many U.S. Citizens travel to Canada every year for health care as go the other way? Pretty much gets rid of that argument, doesn’t it?

    Thank you for your comment and my reply is actually “no” one study does not get rid of the “argument”, nor does it end the discussion nor does it solve the situation. As with any study…look to see who paid for it and what agenda they might have. The overall consensus appears to be that Americans are headin to Canada because prescriptions are much less expensive vs to wait in line for procedures.
