Suggested questions for Dr. Smith:


  1. Your book is called Healthcare Solved: Real Answers No Politics. What qualifies you to come up with the answers when no one else has?
  2. What is to blame for the high cost of healthcare? Where is the money going?
  3. Why are health insurance premiums so high and rising?
  4. Why not Medicare-for-all?
  5. Politicians have claimed all Americans need basic healthcare insurance, as we have car insurance. As someone who has worked in the insurance industry, tell us your views.
  6. You have also worked with the World Bank, United Nations and many hospital ERs around the world. What is missing from the health care reform debate?
  7. You say a decentralized database, like credit bureaus have, might be a solution to plug the money leaks around claims processing? How can an online database help?
  8.  In your book, Healthcare Solved: Real Answers No Politics, you discuss a golden standard of care. What have you seen around the world and what can we learn to stop our money leaks around the quality of healthcare here in America?
  9. Right now it seems the person with the best lawyer decides who's guilty of malpractice. How can peer panels be better than The People's Court to process malpractice, how will this control costs?
  10. You have said the United States should take the lead in studying quality, cost-effective healthcare. Why?
  11. Why does the same drug made by the same company cost so much more in the U.S. than in Canada or Mexico? Why not import our drugs from countries where they are cheaper?
  12. Why are doctor shortages being predicted for this country in the near future?
  13. One in four of the uninsured is eligible for public assistance but not enrolled – why is that?
  14. What is the number one thing we can do as individuals to control our healthcare costs?
  15. What are the most important cost-control measures you propose in Healthcare Solved?
  16. How do we make it easier for small businesses and self-employed individuals get coverage with greater stability of premiums and no pre-existing conditions?
  17. Is there a way to get to "Healthcare for All"? Does this require a public plan, or can it be done more effectively through the private sector?
  18. With the issue so politicized and polarized, how can we achieve effective reform?
