St. Louis, MO.— As the Senate considers a major overhaul of the U.S. health care industry, St. Louis physician Dr. Charles Willey released the second in a series of pieces for the American Freedom and Enterprise Foundation to comment on national health care policy. “Private Sector Health Care Innovations can Prevent Medicaid for All: Government in health care is the problem not the solution.” This installment focuses on “Quality, Service and Innovation.”
Dr. Willey identifies the challenges associated with government intervention in health care innovations. He illustrates the free market solutions that will strengthen our nation’s health care industry.
His message to the government is this: “Let the market experts decide which innovative risks are promising and which are not. Remove tax disincentives for investment in promising innovations which increase treatment options, improve patient care, trim costs, and facilitate information dissemination.”
Future articles will focus on:
- centering and trusting decisions with the patient/doctor unit,
- pairing medical decision making with financial decision making,
- injecting long term incentives for wellness, cost containment, and efficiency into the system, and
- increasing the responsibility for the medical/financial health of the population with the population itself, not with the legal system or a bureaucracy.
Sen. Jim Talent serves as Honorary Chairman of American Freedom and Enterprise Foundation.

Excellent post! -
Great articles and content very informative looking forward to reading more.
I think this post was secretly a great beginning to a potential series of posts about this topic. Most writers pretend to understand what they’re writing about when it comes to this stuff and most of the time, hardly anyone actually get it. You seem to really dominate it however, so I think you should take it and run. Thanks a lot!
Greetings! I just now read through your posting and I loved it. I am wondering if you are going to create more web content to go in addition to this blog?
Greetings I recently finished reading through your website and I’m rather impressed. I actually do have a couple of questions for you however. Are you currently thinking about doing a follow-up posting about this? Do you think you’re likely to keep bringing up-to-date as well?
The theme of your blog is very good to me
