That last several weeks has brought us some great, new opportunities to help develop the healthcare system in the Caribbean. As those who read me regularly know, I’m a co-founder of a new medical school on St. Kitts and as part of our agreement with the government of St. Kitts and Nevis, we will be developing healthcare services in the Eastern Caribbean — starting on St. Kitts. Our agreement with government to provide hemodialysis has been approved by the minister of health and is awaiting Cabinet approval. In the meantime we are working hard to develop a new outpatient surgical center and cardiac cath lab on the island. DOCTORS — I’m looking for surgeons and cardiologists who would be interested in working part or full time on the beach. No Medicare. No managed care. Just patients and healthcare – what a concept.

My previous post has a link to the radio program we recorded. They have a project on Ambergris Cay in Belize and need healthcare services for the …

Compare the Bills
The Senate has now passed a resolution allowing debate on the healthcare reform bill. It is likely that the debate will last several weeks. The New York Times has produced a useful comparison of the House & Senate versions of the bill. I’ve taken the comparison, put it into Excel and then created a PDF, which is attached. The document is ready for printing. Compare House & Senate Bills

Obama’s Choice to Fix Healthcare — Tom Daschle
President elect Obama has named Tom Daschle as the next head of Health & Human Services (HHS), the agency that oversees Medicare. I was shocked by the choice and in talking with healthcare execs, there is a unanimous belief that this is a disaster for healthcare providers. I think that any expectation that the Obama administration will move to the center is destroyed with this appointment. There are very few people in this world that I have a visceral reaction to hearing their name — and Tom Daschle is at the top of the list.
