PHNP

Our Grand Rounds presentation June 5th was given by Dr. Ana Malinow. It was an excellent presentation covering U.S Health Care Policy. I encourage you to look at the following resources:



Physicians for a National Health Program

Healthcare for All Texans



One of the most sobering points in her presentation was when she asked how many of us in the room had ever been uninsured. This was an audience of medical students, residents and faculty physicians and other faculty members. About 50% of the people in the room raised their hand. I was one of them. Can you imagine?! Fifty percent of the healthcare professionals in that room have been uninsured at some time in their life. Unbelievable. And unacceptable.
