You are so right that health reform is much less about money and much more about vested interests. What I always find amusing though is that most health professionals and health professional groups exert considerable energy complaining about the current health system and yet seem to resist any attempt to make positive changes.

In the absence of real statistics and analysis, this issue will remain where it has been for generations - in the opinion columns, rather than in the manuals, codes of practice, legislation and the delivery structures.

Come on - you can do it, you know that you can. I wait for your next article, this time full of strongly and tightly worded logic.

Without which, we will make zero progress.
