“disintegration of a failing healthcare system” – a social commentary by james donohue

Hey everyone

hope all is well…. just wanted  to share with you my newest creation.  This piece is 1/3  in a series of social commentaries that will be featured at the grand opening of aoj gallery

healthcare is at the forefront of most of the debates these days.  Shrinking coverages for those in need,  shrinking reimbursements for those who provide the services, and  increased expenses for everyone…….  one this is for sure… our healthcare system  is deteriorating ….. more and more people are forced to make healthcare decisions based on their pocketbook  and forego life saving treatments.  Providers of these services as well are having to reduce or terminate services,  causing a burden on our already deflated economy….when I finished  the sculpture I was surprised to the strength of its message,  as well as its social relevance.  Its weird, but as a artist and a provider of these healthcare services  I share its common message that something has to be done….and felt compelled to create this social commentary…..
