The healthcare system is cracking under pressure, and it's not just about staffing shortages or budget cuts. Drawing from 19 years of medical practice, I peel back the layers of our current healthcare crisis to reveal what's really breaking the system: an epidemic of preventable lifestyle diseases.Remember when eating an apple instead of a processed granola bar wasn't considered "going on a diet"? Our modern world has engineered unhealthy choices to be the easiest ones, creating a perfect storm that's overwhelming medical resources. The pandemic didn't create this problem—it merely accelerated a breakdown that was already underway, pushing healthcare workers to early retirement and stretching remaining resources beyond their limits.Most patients I see daily suffer from conditions directly linked to lifestyle factors: heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and more. These chronic diseases consume the majority of healthcare spending, yet we continue treating symptoms while ignoring root causes. It's not about blaming patients—we've all been nudged toward processed foods, sedentary behaviors, increased screen time, and diminished face-to-face social connections.The solution isn't simply hiring more doctors or building more hospitals. It's about reimagining prevention through lifestyle medicine: focusing on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and meaningful connections. Every time you choose whole foods over processed ones, take a walk instead of scrolling social media, or prioritize genuine human interaction, you're not just improving your personal health—you're helping preserve our healthcare system for those who truly need it.Ready to make a difference?

Why does Puerto Rico's healthcare system face constant funding shortfalls despite serving U.S. citizens? In this episode of the Mano a Mano podcast, host George Laws Garcia sits down with healthcare policy expert Luis E. Pizarro Otero, Esq., to unpack the structural inequalities that have created a healthcare crisis in Puerto Rico.Luis, who has spent over 15 years advocating for Puerto Rico healthcare policy in Washington, D.C., shares his firsthand experience witnessing how territorial status creates a two-tiered system where Puerto Ricans receive less federal Medicaid and Medicare support than any U.S. state. We explore how the Affordable Care Act improved but didn't fully solve Puerto Rico's healthcare funding gap, why hospitals are closing across the island, and how this drives medical migration to the mainland.This conversation reveals the real-world consequences of Puerto Rico's unequal treatment under federal programs—from the Medicaid cliff and Medicare payment disparities to the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector that supplies 50% of America's top medications while facing its own healthcare shortages. The episode sheds light on how achieving statehood would fundamentally transform Puerto Rico's healthcare landscape by guaranteeing equal federal funding formulas and ending the cycle of temporary funding patches.In this episode:How Puerto Rico's Medicaid funding compares to states (55% vs. 83% federal match)The Affordable Care Act's temporary fix and the ongoing funding cliffWhy Puerto Rico hospitals are closing despite serving U.S. citizensMedicare Advantage disparities and healthcare provider challengesHow territorial status affects pharmaceutical manufacturing in Puerto RicoThe medical migration crisis: providers and patients fleeing to the mainlandPrivate insurance challenges and workforce healthcare accessWhy statehood would end healthcare inequality through permanent federal parityTimestamps:00:00 Introduction: Luis Pizarro's Healthcare Advocacy Journey03:45 The Medicaid Funding Gap: 55% vs. 83% Federal Match07:30 How the Affordable Care Act Changed Puerto Rico Healthcare12:45 The Medicaid Cliff and Temporary Funding Patches18:20 Hospital Closures and Healthcare System Contraction23:30 Medicare Payment Disparities for Puerto Rico Providers28:15 Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Puerto Rico's Critical Role33:40 The Medical Migration Crisis: Providers Leaving for Mainland38:50 Healthcare Workforce Shortages and Economic Impact44:20 Congressional Attitudes: From Low IQ to Growing Understanding48:30 Private Health Insurance Challenges in Puerto Rico53:00 The Private Patient Paradox: Last in Line for Care56:30 Why Statehood Provides the Permanent Healthcare Solution

Canada's universal healthcare system is a source of pride—but it's breaking under the weight of rising demand, longer wait times, and shrinking access to services. In this episode, I ask a tough but necessary question: could introducing a paid tier actually save our healthcare system?We explore:Why the current public model isn't sustainableThe myth of the “two-tier” system—and the four real quadrants that exist todayHow private options can actually reduce pressure on the public systemData-backed examples of care that improved when delisted (chiropractic, physio, eye care)How this model could encourage more doctors to enter the field, especially in family practiceHow it could attract foreign-trained physiciansWhy Canadians are already paying for care elsewhere—and why that's a problemFinally, I leave you with three questions to challenge your perspective:What if a family wanted to pay for their loved one's private addiction treatment?What if private care required public service from doctors?What if we could double our number of physicians in 10 years?This isn't about abandoning universal healthcare—it's about saving it.

Drawing on JFK's 1960s warnings about social stability and justice, this audio essay explores the health care crisis as a symptom of a deeper democracy crisis — and asks what it will take for Americans to finally demand change.Click here to read the written version of David Sirota's essay, "Murder By Spreadsheet".

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of The New York Times report: “The president-elect is taking a flood-the-zone approach to his cabinet nominations, betting that the Senate won't dare to turn them all down…In his private conversations over the past few days, President-elect Donald J. Trump has admitted that his besieged choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, has less than even odds of being confirmed by the Senate. But Mr. Trump has shown no sign of withdrawing the nomination, which speaks volumes about his mind-set as he staffs his second administration. He is making calls on Mr. Gaetz's behalf, and he remains confident that even if Mr. Gaetz does not make it, the standard for an acceptable candidate will have shifted so much that the Senate may simply approve his other nominees who have appalled much of Washington.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/trump-cabinet.html 3:55pm- On Tuesday, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell testified during a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing.

Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption sounds so trivial, but I honestly believe that concerted efforts to increase this key measure of our diet quality would culminate in success. And by success I mean successfully improving people's health, but also increasing the wealth of our communities and alleviating our nation's food supply insecurity.To explore this concept further with me is Jonathan Pauling, CEO of Alexandra Rose, one of my favourite charities and one that Doctor's Kitchen supports.10 years ago Jonathan helped develop its new mission - to improve access to healthy and affordable food for all. They built the ‘Rose Vouchers' for Fruit & Veg Project to pioneer the use of financial incentives to help families on low incomes avoid food insecurity, nutrition insecurity and food related ill-health. From small pilots in London supporting 45 families, this work has now spread around the UK supporting 3,500 families every week.The scheme works by giving families literal cash in the form of rose vouchers that can be used at local food markets in exchange for fresh produce. It's increased fruit and vegetable consumption by a staggering amount as we'll get into during the podcast, and I was genuinely shocked at some of the impressive numbers that Jonathan shared with me.Today we explore the economic and health incentives for why this scheme should be adopted across every local authority and NHS commissioners to not only help the millions of people living in financial hardship in the UK, but also to alleviate the burden on our health system.

We sit down with Banu Symington, a hematology-oncology physician, to explore a looming health care crisis affecting rural America. As more retirees move to rural communities, the number of health care providers is not keeping pace. Banu sheds light on the growing disparity between rural and urban health care access, the financial challenges threatening the survival of rural hospitals, and the flawed plan to turn these hospitals into triage-only facilities. We discuss the urgent need for sustainable solutions to prevent a worsening two-tiered health care system and ensure that rural patients have access to comprehensive medical care.
