Post from Leadership Turn Image credit: arte_ram

As most of you know I’ve been writing a series on healthcare, linking to articles detailing the actions of doctors/healthcare professionals, insurance companies and financial institutions. What’s ahppening as opposed to political retoric of what should happen.

But last night I got to thinking.

The stuff the artilces describe isn’t new, it’s been going on for years. Sure, some are new wrinkles, but in general it’s all been around for quite a while.

Why suddenly all these articles? Why is the light being shown and the rocks turned over? What’s different?

Because it’s an election year? Unlikely, this stuff was going on four years ago, but there were no exposés about medical staff not washing their hands or drug companies financial involvement with doctors starting while they’re still in medical school.

So what’s new? What do you think has changed? What’s going on?
