*Can a moderator please change the title of the thread to eliminate the "Jr." part of Brawley's title?  Don't know why I added the Jr. I just did.  Weird thing is I do it all the time.  I'm junior happy, what ever that means...

Chief Medical Officer As the chief medical officer and executive vice president of the American Cancer Society.  Fascinating, Fascinating talk.

Not wanting to spend 56 minutes watching the video at the moment, I happened to see this comment on YouTube which I presume sums up the video:

Quote

Excellent overview of the horrible state of health care today...apportions blame to all; doctors, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, journalists and politicians... He was gracious, factual and unwavering in his analysis...The common theme of medicine today is an unfettered pursuit of money by all these interest groups rather than unfettered care of patients...

ps:  I fixed the thread title per OP's request.

So everyone and their dog knows that the system is broken, the question is how to fix it?
