Though a student of film making, Diagnosing Healthcare is Paul's first film. Paul is also the owner of Roberts Consulting, PLLC, a medical case management firm in Tampa, FL. Paul's experience as an RN case manager with over 20 years of experience, prompted him to develop an alternative health care plan (which he dubbed "Coordinated Care for All"). His plan saves 40% over the costs associated with the current U.S. health care system (a savings of $1.4 Trillion/year) and also improves the quality of care delivered. The plan, which is showcased in the film, was endorsed by the Case Management Society of America.
The notion of creating a health care reform documentary resulted from frustration with moving health care reform through congress. For that reason, I had the idea of creating a documentary with the goal of introducing health care reform to the general public. The hope is to inspire a grassroots uprising which places pressure on congress to enact change for the better. However, the proposed solutions introduced in the film apply around the globe, not just in the U.S. My mission, therefore, is to change health care for the better around the world. The health care solutions proposed enhance care while easing the burden on world economies.
