Politicians, academics and analysts from all political perspectives have come to the same conclusion: The US healthcare system is broken. They’ve fielded studies, issued reports, legislated, debated and spent millions lobbying for one change or another.

Still, the simple fact remains that the country has tens of millions of uninsured and underinsured, prohibitive costs for employers both large and small and byzantine rules, regulations, practices and processes that point to further systemic erosion over the next decade as 72 million baby boomers begin their retirements.

HealthDot was created by ScribeMedia.Org as a non-partisan, informational and analytical multimedia publication that offers expert opinion on the future of the American health care industry. We do this from the perspective of three primary constituencies: Consumers, Providers, and Employers.

We bring together key players, report on their opinions, uncover current trends, and analyze the legislation that will affect it all.

HealthDot is not a healthcare guide. We do not compare and contrast different insurers, hospitals and company policies. Nor do we offer healthcare advice.

Instead, we look at innovations, whether technical, political or social. We discuss market and government solutions, those driven by employers and those by consumer advocates.

In the end, we aim for intelligent and informed debate as the country seeks solutions to a national crisis.
