From a Canadian physician
“Americans think of Canadian socialized care as some kind of utopia. Let me tell you that it is not. We need more innovation and as has been said, disruptive innovation is what we need to empower patients. But in Canada, it’s not allowed in healthcare. Pity.”
True…when the government controls how healthcare is paid for (and then private insurers follow their lead), there is absolutely no innovation because, our job as healthcare entrepreneurs is to create new ways doctors are paid and new ways to deliver healthcare. Control how doctors are paid and you control everything.

After completing a residency in pediatrics and one in preventive medicine at Johns Hopkins, I started a practice for my neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in September 2007. People would visit my website; see my Google calendar; choose a time and input their symptoms; my iphone would alert me; I would make a house call; they'd pay me via Paypal; and we'd follow up by email, IM, videochat, or in person.
Fast Company calls me The Doctor of the Future. I've got a design and consulting firm called The Future Well. Read more about me here.
