Dr. Blandford's career has been in earth sciences, particularly seismology;
and his wife's career has been largely in health care management. In the
early 90's he heard of the dysfunctional health care financing
system that his wife had to deal with. Seeing nothing on the political
horizon that seemed likely to resolve these problems, he decided to see if
he could design a national health care financing system from scratch.
The resulting approach was appealing enough that he was invited to give a
talk at a conference on Affordable Health Care in Singapore. The latest
version of his plan may be seen at www.his.com/robertb/hlthplan.htm
Dr. Blandford is available to talk with audiences and individuals interested
in ways to fundamentally restructure our national health care system.
