Health Freedom Minute April 28, 2011

Does One Size Fit All? Welcome to the Health Freedom Minute. This is Twila Brase, president of Citizensʼ Council for Health Freedom. The danger of uniformity in a world of patient diversity becomes clearer when we consider the man who ran the fastest marathon ever last week. According to the international standards-setting federation, his recordshattering time doesnʼt count because the Boston course isnʼt a loop. Itʼs a straight shot. But itʼs full of difficult twists and punishing hills. The federationʼs standards, which do not consider the difficulty of the terrain are “too arbitrary and serve to unfairly prevent recognition of a world-class achievement,” says the Boston Globe. Now imagine the arbitrary and uniform treatment standards to be imposed under Obamacare. Unique patients squeezed into uniform boxes. Uniformity never leads to or recognizes greatness. In medicine, it will lead to rationing and the demise of innovation.
