Primary Health Care Needs Fixing
Before Universal Care Can Work
By BENJAMIN BREWER, M.D.
Who will take care of the estimated 47 million uninsured Americans if they get health coverage promised by politicians?
Few people seem concerned about whether the supply of primary care doctors is up to the task. But they should be.
Even without health-care reform, the demand for family physicians is expected to surge by 2020, when the nation will need 140,000 family physicians, according to the American Academy of Family Physician's 2006 Physician Workforce Report. That's a 40% increase over the 100,000 family doctors at work in 2006.

Retraining Our Sights: From Tobacco Use to Obesity Awareness
Paul R. Ehrmann, DO
Family Health Care Center, Royal Oak, Mich
To the Editor: The international pandemic of obesity poses a
serious threat to the well-being of society in terms of adverse public health
and economic
consequences.1 As we
continue the battle against obesity, public health authorities should heed the
lessons learned in the successful campaign against smoking and the tobacco
industry and apply those same principles (eg, shifts in public behavior
prompted by tax and regulatory policies) in efforts against
obesity.2 Simply
issuing warnings to the public about the ravages of obesity and throwing more
money at the problem has not been
working.3,4
The preponderance of scientific evidence suggests that obesity, once
established in an individual or a population, is extremely difficult to
control by conventional methods of intervention, such as diet and
exercise.1 Although
physicians must continue intervention efforts for those patients who are
overweight, there needs to be a stronger public policy directed toward primary
prevention of
obesity.2-4
A thorough international public health strategy to prevent obesity would
address prevailing attitudes and norms and disparities in health and economics
within society. Policymakers should encourage radical changes in the
health-related behaviors of the public in order to produce substantial shifts
in food production, marketing, and
consumption.2-4
