Here’s another great article from the New England Journal of Medicine. It’s titled Market-Based Failure — A Second Opinion on U.S. Health Care Costs. There are many assumptions about why our medical coverage is so expensive. This article suggests some other reasons that we all suspect.
The article talks about something that I find very repulsive, people in leadership positions that abuse the trust they have been given. The article talks about companies and industries that are responsible but we forget that its people in leadership positions in the companies and industries that make the decisions, determine policy, and establish the standards.
When you take a leadership position and have the power to affect lives, you accept a responsibility; you are entrusted with the welfare of other people. That’s stewardship. You can choose to be a good or a bad steward. How many leaders do you believe are good stewards? Often being a good steward takes a lot of courage. That might be a characteristic that’s lacking.
