A big thumbs up to Dr. Patch!!
But the WH started this reform on the wrong tract--they wanted to build on what worked. Well, it is NOT working and all we have now are Band-aids 'reform' proposals!!

Dr. Patch Adams isn’t laughing about healthcare reform.

In an incendiary commentary at the Aspen Health Forum on Monday, the professional clown and famed pioneer for alternative medicine said the current debate on healthcare is missing the point. Instead of arguing about how to pay for health insurance, he said, we should be discussing how to get rid of health insurance and how to improve humanity.

“For 40 years, the business/greed model has tried to take care of healthcare,” said the doctor, wearing a curly-cue mustache, a Day-Glo flower-patterned shirt and blouse and unmatched neon socks. “They’ve done an absolutely revolting, disgusting job and they’ve made trillions of dollars from it. So, why we would want the greed model to take care of people, I don’t know.”

2. If he's talking about re-engineering the human genome, I agree.

First up: rapid senescence. Slow down that aging process.

Increasing resistance to oxidative damage would be a good start down that road, and help with all sorts of nasty shit.

3. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

This time Dr. Adams is right.
