So this headline caught my attention. Excerpt from the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Economic Euthanasia On the Rise<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Euthanasia can be the last act of love when disease or time has made death a greater comfort than life &#8230; But now euthanasia has taken on a new and unsettling meaning for some vets&#8217; clients. Economic euthanasias are occurring at higher frequences in practices where the community has been hit hard by the down economy.<\/p>\n<p>An increase in euthanasia when treatment is medically feasible leaves veterinarians to question how they can remain financially stable while helping clients and patients get what they need.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; [An Ohio emergency clinic says] &#8220;The worst part is more clients are taking their pets home to die when they&#8217;re in need of treatment.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now consider what the insightful, visionary Gilles Frydman wrote here a month ago today: <a href=\"https:\/\/participatorymedicine.org\/epatients\/archives\/2009\/05\/will-great-recession-create.html\" target=\"_blank\">Will the Great Recession Create Millions of e-Patients?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->He pointed to a Wall Street Journal Health Blog post saying that nearly half of employers plan to shift more costs to us next year, and 20% of companies will switch to a plan that puts insurance out of the reach of many people. (I&#8217;m simplifying; read the post for details.)<\/p>\n<p>Later that day, the Fierce HealthCare newsletter reported (<a href=\"https:\/\/participatorymedicine.org\/epatients\/archives\/2009\/05\/will-great-recession-create.html#comment-26506\" target=\"_blank\">see comment<\/a>):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Survey of 505 family physicians\u2026. \u201c54% [of respondents] said they were seeing fewer patients since January 2008, and 73% reported seeing more uninsured patients. \u2026 71% reported providing more uncompensated care. \u2026 Also saw signs that patients\u2019 health was being directly affected by cost issues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my point, people: the forces of business in the healthcare industry are understandably defending themselves against revenue loss, but IT IS KILLING PEOPLE.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in business myself. I have nothing against revenue, earnings, appreciation, stockholder value.<\/p>\n<p>But this is not baseball, people. This is not car sales. <strong>Lives are at stake.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I urge the people who run businesses in this industry to find humanistic ways to accomplish their missions. I know you need to meet your targets. Please, please, do not turn <em>us <\/em>into targets in the process.<\/p>\n<p>And I urge you [readers], yes all of you, to stand up and raise holy Hell about this. We are not carcasses to be mined for revenue. We are human lives. <strong>When healthcare becomes out of our reach, people suffer and die.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s happening in veterinary medicine &#8211; increasingly putting to sleep animals that could have been saved &#8211; parallels what&#8217;s happening in human healthcare. And as long as decision-makers prioritize preserving revenue instead of preserving life, the results will match.<\/p>\n<p>You better think about where we&#8217;re headed &#8211; about what&#8217;s going to happen if we don&#8217;t rise up and demand that <em>our <\/em>interests be preserved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not going to be easy to absorb, if you really let it sink in.
