[Hlthpol] Physicians and Their Practices

[Barbara Ross-Lee]

Actually, current proposals do NOT address vulnerable populations and 
focus only on the physical and not the mental.  This paper states that 
current proposals miss the point and leave people out.  Recently the 
Carter Foundation brought the primary care (FM, IM, and Peds) 
disciplines together with mental health disciplines, employers and 
insurers to discuss the need for the 'Health home'' to include physical 
and mental health.  I thought about you throughout the entire 
discussion.  It was 'really' good.  You 'helped' me to understand.
