7-16-09 Princeton, NJ - AddisonsDisease.Net Open letter on improving Healthcare in the United States Of America.

De Politicize Healthcare and Heal America

It's time once and for all to de politicize healthcare in the United States and establish a system for protecting patients who need emergency care and hospitalization based on efficiency, the free market and honoring simple, easy to understand contractual insurance obligations.

Making private ER / Hospital insurance available to consumers from any company in the USA approved to do business in any given state will open the floodgates to a much more efficient and stress free experience for patients, hospitals and doctors. Insurance companies providing such care would bear the total cost burden less any contracted deductible if a patient is admitted which would be paid directly to the hospital by the patient. That deductible is the only fee the patient is responsible for and every other cost for anything pursuant to either an ER visit, ambulance ride to the hospital and complete hospital stay is taken care of by the insurance company and the hospital.

Once the hospital gets paid from an insurer then any fees to any in house concessions (like radiology), all physicians, pharmacy and every other cost pursuant to a patient's care is settled and the bill is 100% paid. The patient receives a paid invoice in the mail for his or her records. This is hospital care at it's most efficient for all parties involved. Hospitals will be able to run much more efficiently and profitably as collections from the insured would vanish as the bills are totally paid.

This option is just that optional although with coverage like this all would enroll to protect themselves and their families. Participants cannot be denied coverage but must wait to file a claim if not switching from another carrier for one year. Excluding applicants due to pre existing conditions would be illegal nationwide. This is not group insurance but private individual coverage available to all at the same cost. Employers can reimburse their employees if they so choose but it's not mandatory. This is insurance people have with them for a lifetime if they choose because it's their own policy.

Now for the rest of healthcare it's time to unleash and reward good old fashioned tried and proven effective capitalism on care for Americans outside the hospital setting. The future for this part of healthcare is ever improving options for individuals to tailor solutions right for them and their families. This solution may include doctor coverage insurance with discounts for taking care of one's body. It might include direct member participation in a medical group with capabilities across many specialties. It might include a drug plan to reduce or eliminate cost of buying medicine. It might include a big walk in blood testing center with heavy discounts for paying cash. It may include the option for being able to buy previously expensive diagnostic tests like outpatient MRI's at a fraction of their former cost with increased competition.

The big takeaway here is to de politicize healthcare while providing superior coverage for people against the peril of hospitalization and in the process unleashing American capitalism on the rest of healthcare which will improve care, lower cost, foster innovation, increase options and efficiency. It will also reduce stress on doctors and above all put the patients first so they can be well. A healthy America with non government private solutions is not only the best way to go it's the healthiest way to go.

The AddisonsDisease.Net Difference:

We are the place to come to for free meaningful lifetime support. Our members achieve victories in improved wellness and understanding of Addison's Disease through daily interaction with real people who live with this rare endocrine disorder. Our members always put each other first and have such wonderful words regarding this amazing family of such very special people:

"I have been a member for several months now and wanted to thank everyone for their advice and help. Like many members I may not reply to the e-mail very often, but I do read them every time. The information I have gained through this group has improved my life tremendously. From the little things like taking your meds before you get up to the big things like dealing with a crisis this group has made a huge impact on my life. Thank you to everyone who takes time out of their busy schedules to answer questions and give advice. Your contribution is appreciated and makes a difference."

AddisonsDisease.Net was founded by someone with Idiopathic Primary Addison's Disease - Complete Adrenal Insufficiency as a place of unsurpassed meaningful support. Our founder has from day one and continues to have a daily presence in the community. AddisonsDisease.Net was created and thrives as a free service to our members from around the world and they always come first.

We are here to do our part to help our members improve their lives by connecting them to the deepest knowledge base of patient experience and understanding on adrenal insufficiency - Addison's Disease anywhere in the world. Patients, caregivers, doctors, nurses, media outlets, hospitals, healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies and the general public are invited and encouraged to spread the word about this growing family called simply AddisonsDisease.Net.

Way you can help?

Putting a link from your healthcare website to ours instantly makes your site more valued as you connect someone in need to a resource able to help that person who has Addison's, thinks they might have it or cares for someone who does. Once they reach us our members will take it from there and you will have made a real difference in someone's life.

We've seen the recent media frenzy linking Paula Abdul to Addison's Disease and the sudden but fleeting awareness it has brought to this once terminal disease. The AddisonsDisease.Net difference is that we are always here to support our members who have it or who care for someone that does. Our members cross all cultural, economic and every other imaginable boundary to come together as one family who grows in wellness and size each day.

We hope all who have taken the time to read this will take a moment to do their small part. We promise that it will come back to you many times over. learn more

We believe deeply that intensive support is needed for many who live daily with the challenges that Addison's Disease presents to those who have it and for those who care for someone that does. Our members know what it's like to live firsthand with the disease and they provide unsurpassed support to those with adrenal insufficiency, adrenal suppression and Addison's Disease. One of our wonderful members recently wrote: "So I can identify with you completely. It is made worse by the fact that people in general can't see what the big deal is, we don't look ill." The members of addisonsdisease.net know "what the big deal is" and they offer needed support to all members in need with grace, optimism and compassion.

Our members have direct firsthand experience with Primary Addison's, Secondary Addison's, Addison's as a result of surgical removal of the adrenal glands and other adrenal disorders. Newcomers immediately connect to very helpful members who understand and members who care.

We are very proud of our founding legacy of bringing people together here at addisonsdisease.net free of charge.

Open Letter: November 15, 2004

Dear Members & Visitors:

Many have seen the commercial which referenced "Adrenalitis" in a television ad used to market a truck and inquired as to if www.addisonsdisease.net has a position on the ad. It is the position of www.addisonsdisease.net that the exploitation of any disease/condition either real or imagined in the manner which was portrayed is both destructive and insensitive. The members of www.addisonsdisease.net know first hand the nature of Addison's Disease as they either live with it or care for someone who does.

It is also the position of www.addisonsdisease.net that this commercial is a clear example of the ignorance regarding adrenal dysfunction and unawareness which surrounds Addison's Disease. Many people simply do not know that the disease exists. Addison's Disease has affected all of us in many ways as we collectively cope with living with the disease and the unawarenss and ingnorance surrounding the disease. The commercial while insulting to many who cope with Addison's Disease also fosters misconceptions regarding disease.

The ad in question is focused on selling a product at the expense of those afflicted with adrenal dysfunction. We are focused here on support and spreading awareness on Addison's Disease around the world. Many members of www.addisonsdisease.net have participated a great deal to support their fellow members and to spread awareness on the disease in their part of the world.

Anyone who has become aware of Addison's Disease as a result of the commercial is encouraged to visit www.addisonsdisease.net to learn more about the disease.

Sincerely,

Jerry Butler
