Rudolph Mueller, M.D., author of “As Sick As It Gets”:
“… and, then, the other thing we do in this nation is we blame it on the individual. If someone dies prematurely, it’s their fault. If they have a bad outcome, it’s their fault. If they have a job that doesn’t provide insurance, it’s their fault that they didn’t get a well paying job that had insurance. If they come in and their diabetes is uncontrolled, they didn’t take their medicines, it’s their fault they didn’t take their medicines. No, it’s more… They don’t have insurance. They don’t have prescription coverage. They can’t afford their medicines. Their employer doesn’t provide health insurance because they need to be profitable.”
