Letter From the Editor


Insurance Policies

The more we read about health care reform the greater the focus on health insurance. It's an industry people love to hate until you have an emergency of course.

Today's DOTmed News includes an interview with a doctor who doesn't take insurance. That's right. Insurance is not for regular health services, but only for emergencies, the doctor says.

Maybe we can stop beating up insurance companies and instead reform the system so that insurance is used for what it does best. Then doctors could concentrate on medicine.

See you tomorrow.
