One thought on “Indiana needs to boost spending by $242M a year to modernize public health system, commission says

  1. Hoosiers would be better served if we made “health” the real priority, as opposed to increasing ambulance capabilities/capacity. The goal for increased per capita funding should focus on lifestyle changes of diet/nutrition, exercise, and reducing substance use, and less “screen time” to improve mental health. Western medicine in general is not healthcare but “last-ditch, emergency, highest cost imaginable treatment of acute health failures”. If greater emphasis was placed on what truly yields improved health, there would be less need for high-cost emergency care. Either consciously or unconsciously, our healthcare “industry” (facilities, providers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and pharmacies) has a firm grasp on the high-cost emergency model as the dollars are huge. This is a very tall order and many don’t trust state government throwing more money at more ambulances to be a valid solution.
