Dr. Buchwald is available for interviews/Q&As, contributed articles, and expert commentary to discuss topics surrounding the current state of the healthcare system in the United States, including:
The deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship
How “good” and “bad” healthcare is measured
Healthcare Language: Why are we called “clients” by insurance companies rather than “patients”? Why are doctors called “providers” rather than “doctors”?
Why patients have to wait increasingly long periods of time to see their doctor, or are too often referred to other doctors
Poor “client” service: How communication with your doctor and their staff are continuing to deteriorate
Privileged vs. underprivileged communities in the American healthcare system
The true value of research and how we can implement more of it
How the American public is being cheated by the healthcare system
Americans are paying more and receiving less for healthcare compared to other leading nations across the globe
Why doctors are not running your healthcare – administrators are!
Why top healthcare CEOs and other administrators get paid billions of dollars – money that comes out of taxpayers’ pockets through increasing insurance premiums and taxes. Bottom line: the more money healthcare administrators are paid, the less healthcare the public receives.
