Bring on 2024

I wish you all a Happy New Year for 2024. The world is crazy but we have seen crazier. Remember the pandemic? I want to thank all my great writers here at Authentic Medicine for their work. No one gets paid a dime, including me.

I started this blog 22 years ago as an adjunct to the Placebo Journal. PJ was all about fun and humor but I wanted something online that was more critical of our broken healthcare system. Well, I want to tell you, it hasn’t got any better in 22 years. In fact, I think it has gotten worse. The ACA is a failure as health insurance rates have doubled and tripled for most people and for the ones that get it “free” they have an $8K deductible. We have seen the corporate practice of medicine (CPOM) take over so many hospitals and clinics and use their greed to make the system worse. We have seen the onslaught of NPs and PAs using the Trojan Horse method to convince legislators that they are equal to doctors. And so much more.

Sorry to be such a downer. All we can try to do is call out the madness that we see and hopefully get the message out there

See you next year.
