Our Broken Healthcare System Is Letting All Of Us Down

A large majority of Americans have lost faith in their healthcare system. ¹  Seventy percent of physicians and medical students believe that consolidation in healthcare negatively affects patient access to high-quality, cost-effective care.  

Fundamental problems include:

• The U.S. spends much more per capita on healthcare than any other country, yet ranks towards the bottom of developed countries in many healthcare metrics. ²
• Over 21% of U.S. children aged 6–17 are obese.  In Japan, the number is about 3%. ³
• 95% of medical spending comes after someone gets sick. ⁴
• It is difficult to trust the recommendations of healthcare policy makers or medical “experts”.  The financial conflicts of interest are extensive and well reported. ⁵

• The FDA does not know all the chemicals in our food. ⁶

• Drug companies spend heavily to market more drugs, for higher prices, and for longer periods to time to Americans.  (In 2023 advertisements from drug makers accounted for half of the ad spending on five popular nightly news shows.) ⁷

• A significant number of clinical trials supporting FDA drug approvals had limitations in their design or execution, affecting reproducibility.  For example, a 2012 analysis attempted to replicate 53 landmark cancer studies but succeeded in confirming the original results in only 11% of them. ⁸

• 15% of hospital activity and expenditure in OECD countries is a direct result of adverse events. ⁹

This Is Leading To Major Political Consequences

It is not surprising that healthcare was a major – and for many Americans the major – issue in recent national elections. ¹⁰  As a result, the election outcomes will significantly impact U.S. health policy. ¹¹

Patients and physicians alike are demanding better access to trustworthy information, a sharp reduction in unnecessary costs, and policies based on science and common sense rather than on corporate profit.  It is now a national governmental imperative to meet these demands.

RegenMed Is Well Positioned To Capitalize On These Tectonic Shifts In Healthcare Delivery

Solving these fundamental problems begins with unbiased datasets built from the bottom up by independent physicians, and not from the top down by conflicted policymakers and “experts.”  

Datasets which are clinically relevant to more patients.  Datasets which deliver on the promises of “value” and “care”, rather than merely add bureaucracy.  Datasets which are transparent to physicians and patients, and are independent of profit motive.  Datasets which reflect and evolve on the basis of legitimate medical science and well-correlated outcomes, not the opaque motives of anonymous committees.

RegenMed provides the platforms and processes to develop such datasets for any condition or protocol – efficiently and at low-cost.  Its technology and processes return to physicians and their patients the power to identify what they, and not drug companies and conflicted “experts”, believe are the diagnoses and treatment protocols most likely to lead to better and cost-effective outcomes.

And RegenMed is not stopping there.  For example, it is now working on a powerful AI layer which will enable efficient querying of any or all of its datasets.  Because of the high-quality of these datasets, we believe that such queries will provide reliable support for everyday clinical decision-making.  This is in stark contrast to the AI “hallucinations” and other artifacts of highly manipulated “big data”. ¹²
