Good morning!
I’d like to present a contrast to you today.
Two worldviews are battling for control of healthcare.
One perspective values each individual life as a gift from God. Humans are born with equal inherent worth. Law protects God-given individual rights and responsibilities. Once life is lived, judgment comes; perfection rewards the righteous in eternity.
Traditional US healthcare is based on the Christian worldview.
Valued traits and principles are:
Valued traits and principles are:
- individual creativity, innovation, & hard work produce abundance
- raising a family
- following conscience
- personal responsibility for health decisions
- the Golden Rule: doing unto others as you would have them do to you
- charity is an individual act
- faith in God
Population Care is part of the progressive worldview, which sees humanity in the collective, as demographic groups rather than individuals. (AMA) A perfect society is possible, given the right system and experts in charge. Law grants equality of possessions, treatment by others, etc.
The valued traits related to Population Care are:
- compliance with rules and regulations
- standardized systems
- central control
- uniform results
- system assumes individual risk (NIH) and outcomes (CDC)
- scientific knowledge
- rationed care
- redistribution of wealth from a fixed pie
