Steve has also worked in depth in the Healthcare Policy Arena for over 25 years and understands that although Eating Healthy and Exercising will not FIX the Healthcare System that Healthy People cost the system less than sick people and the Quality of Life of Healthy People far exceeds those that are chronically sick.

Over the years, Steve has realized that the answers to improve the system are apparent to most policymakers and legislators, but the political will isn’t there to move these changes forward. (Somewhat because of the incredible profits produced by Health Insurance Companies, Hospitals and Pharmaceutical Companies being protected by their lobbyists) It’s been documented and proven that Primary Care Physicians (PCP’s) can significantly improve a patient’s Health Outcomes, but the reimbursement rates favor Specialists, thus leaving PCP’s under represented within the system and with overbooked schedules and appointment requirements that don’t allow them the time to actually practice the way that they would prefer but require them to quickly Prescribe Pharmaceuticals and trips to Specialists for conditions that they could easily (and more affordably) address themselves (if given the time).

As the Cost of Healthcare has exploded to unaffordable rates, Steve believes that there are enough Consumers of Healthcare (PATIENTS) that would be willing to take more ownership of their health if only given the platform to do so. Thus, we are launching the FIO (Fix It Ourselves) program that will help us to document the differences between our participants and more traditional Consumers of Healthcare. It’s a somewhat stringent program, but Steve believes that the effort will be more than worth the effort.
