But isn't that what you are doing by imposing
govt health care where people ARE FORCED
into it WITHOUT free choice and AGAINST their BELIEFS and consent.
Obamacare isn't govt provided or sponsered health care,
it's legislation that forces me to buy "affordable" medical insurance, or be fined.
It's legislation that forces "certain" businesses to provide their employees w coverage.
I think a lot of people were under the impression,
that this was going to be similar to the Canadian Health Care system.
How this has anything to do w personal beliefs is beyond me
Only in the sense that some of us might believe that insurance is a crappy way to finance health care.
What would be your suggested alternative ?
Anything but. We should pay for it like we pay for anything else. Insurance should only be for unexpected calamities that would bankrupt your family otherwise. But we're fixated on the delusion that we can use insurance to pay for most, if not all, of our healthcare expenses.
Using insurance to pay for the normal expenses of life is more than just dumb. It's not only a waste of money from an individual's perspective, but (when most customers are under the same delusion) it does serious harm to the markets involved.
I'm opposed to government regulation of our economic decisions at any level, but if we are going to use the government to solve the problem, the more intelligent thing to do would be to ban full coverage health insurance altogether, only permitting catastrophic plans.
So how do you propose to roll back the costs of medications (an area where it actually might be done, as opposed to the costs of surgery and post-op care, nursing home care, hospice care, etc., etc., etc.)?
Big Pharma's usual alibi is "We have to charge more to recoup R&D," even though it's been proven that most of their revenue goes to advertising, upper-echelon salaries, and the stockholders.
If you have a plan to stop them from slopping at the trough, I'd love to hear it.
Dear
Arianrhod
I've said over and over again
* start holding people accountable for the costs of crime, govt waste and corporate abuse.
If we charge back the costs of crime, prisons, money wasted by govt on issues or wrongs
that can be traced back to the wrongdoers, then hold those parties responsible instead of
charging it to the taxpayers
We'd either reduce the costs of crime if people were held to pay the full cost to the public,
and/or start collecting restitution or CREDIT against these debts and use those
credits or resources to finance sustainable health care, education etc.
* reward people and businesses with tax breaks for investing resources
directly into expanding medical programs, education, and public service.
Some cost effective solutions include
,, spiritual healing that can save lives and costs otherwise lost to expensive
cases of cancer, criminal illness and other diseases
,, reparative therapy using natural sugars to rejuvenate cells
I just met with the founder of an institution in Houston promoting
public education about negative sugars that replete the body's immune and healing
vs. positive sugars that accelerate health and healing, where these are natural science.
He argues that if all the research and pharmaceutical developments
were focused on this approach, we could save more lives and health for
a fraction of the cost. There is no comparison because this is natural science.
So we were planning how to propose a combination of the spiritual healing
and positive sugars research as the focus of cost effective sustainable health care.
In order to afford to cover the demands of the public.
I still argue we need to convert the prison systems and mental health
into medical education, teaching hospitals and health care services for the general public.
instead of wasting 50K a year per person on incarceration,
how many doctors and nurses could we train to provide services to the public?
where the cost of their education is earned by serving in public health.
The institution I met with already has Ben Carson on board with their approach
since he saw the radical improvement one of his own patients experienced
by addressing the sugars in the healing and rejuvenation process.
In short if we quit wasting resources on bad medicine that makes people
sicker or more dependent on expensive drugs nobody can afford that doesn't cure them anyway,
if we quit bankrupting the state budgets on costs of crime prosecution and imprisonment
instead of focusing on effective medical and mental health treatment to prevent
the causes of addiction crime and abuse, then we can repurpose those resources
to provide sustainable health care, education and services instead of wasting
billions on a failed prison system, not to mention the mental health and pharmaceutical monopoly on drugs
that don't work but just make money off keeping people dependent without curing their conditions.
