Medical discoveries; a thought here, how
profitable is it to the medical field NOT to discover a cure for Cancer and many
other diseases. Do you think the medical establishment
(AMA) and the Pharmaceutical Companys would ever suppress
a treatment for cancer and other diseases in order to keep the monies
rolling in?
Which makes more money for Doctors, Hospitals and
Drug companies?
Curing a problem or treating
it for life with office visits, hospital stays and life long
Medication use?
Check out how in the United States the medical field
and Drug companies working through the FDA suppresses cures and cheaper
treatments for many illnesses with natural substances by litigation to suppress
information getting to the public even when it has been proven to cure or
treat.

Basically, drug manufactures can not
patent a natural substance, if they can not isolate the active ingredient and
synthesize it they can not patent it. So they will, with the FDA's help,
suppress the use of a Natural substance in the treatment for anything,
period. The drug manufactures, AMA and FDA appear to be working in concert
to suppress all information regarding the effectiveness of Natural cures and
treatments. This information cuts into profits from patented medicine
use. Just look at your TV ads for all the pills being pushed for
every known ailment of mankind. Some ads are for ailments I've never heard
of like "Restless Leg Syndrome", Known as "RLS". Ya, they got a pill
for that too and a pill for a whole lot of other abbreviated illnesses.
But how many times do you hear of a break through PILL that Cures anything, you
don't. They don't want you cured, they want you to take pills for
the rest of your life. So much so that they are now placing
ads on television to tell you about Diseases you may never heard of but you
can control with "This Medication". Working together they passed
laws barring Natural treatments from making any claims even though
they have been proven to work. There is information out there from
respected Doctors and Research groups on the effectiveness of Common and Natural
treatments and cures for mans ailments. Shhhhh, They don't want you
to know about cures.
You will find that those who bring
this scientific information forward are not from the good ole USA.
No, the scientific backing to
Natural cures and treatments are now mainly coming from England and other
European countries.
No, any Doctors who bring out
this information or practices Natural alternative treatments here in
AMERICA are at risk legally from the AMA and the FDA, the "Lap
Dogs" of the Pharmaceutical Companies.
And here is
something else to think about
A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim
it's a free market.
A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and
claim it's a free market.
A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and
claim it's a free market.
We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico.
We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh.
When I need to speak to someone about my computer, I talk
to somebody in India.
We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different
Countries...
BUT, heaven help the elderly who dare to buy their
prescription drugs from a Mexican or Canadian pharmacy at a 60% discount. That's
called un-American! And moves are being made to make it illegal to make
prescription purchases from Mexican or Canadian pharmacies...
And you think the pharmaceutical companies don't
have a powerful lobby? Think they won't use their
power to keep you a
captive consumer?
Think again!
Now let me get on the
Medical Insurance companies for a moment. Do me a favor and call up your
local insurance agent and get a quote on the cost of Medical Insurance for you
and your family of comparable coverage that you currently have with your job
site. Ask yourself if you could afford this if your company discontinued
providing a Medical plan.
Many working Americans and their families are
in this boat as their Employer no longer participates in providing insurance
coverage. And the number of Employers opting out of providing Health
Insurance is growing rapidly with the rising cost of premiums. I am not a
fan of Micheal Moore, but I understand he has a new movie out investigating the
Health Insurance industry. I plan on watching it.. It is
obvious when listening to anyone who has had a major health issue arise tell
about the lack of coverage that was actually given. Basically Health
Insurance companies are paying out less and less while charging more and more in
premiums.
I'm for a National Health plan. One that is similar to
Canada. I know the Insurance Companies loose their most recent meal at the
thought of a National Health system and send their Lobbyist into overtime and
spending millions to keep their golden goose on the nest.. Check out the
salaries and perks of Health Insurance CEO's , cooperate officers and share
holders etc. all sucking the blood of sick and injured individuals as fast
as they can... Capitalist say it will cost to much. Ya, it will to
the profits of those who now run the system. It will cost less in taxes
than is currently being charged by insurance companies. As everybody
will be paying into it, if they pay taxes and everybody will be covered.
No profit, no perks, no waist if run correctly.. That's what capitalist can not
stand cause they are cut out of the loop. Benefits in the Health Insurance
field has, is and will get worse under the capitalist model. The
compassion is gone. The humanity is gone. Cost of premiums will
continue to rise while coverage and Benefits will dwindle.. PROFIT
is the goal.. The actions of the insurance industry showed it's true
colors in New Orleans after Katrina. Refusing to pay for damages at every
turn to those with coverage, mostly on little technicalities if for any reason
at all. It happens just this same way with the Health Insurance industry
only you usually don't hear about it as it is between them and ONE family and
goes un-noticed... Leaving the family or individual to fight a Multi
Billion dollar cold uncaring entity with little support..
Currently Medical Cost is
rising 4 times faster than wages....Currently 8 out of 10 Medical Bills have
errors on them in favor of the biller not the consumer...These errors would
never be tolerated in any other service businesses, inflated charges, double
charging, charging for services not given, or for supplies not used, or for
items or services that are included in other billed areas are the normal way of
serving the consumer by the American Medical establishment.... Any other
business who did this would be under multiple investigations by Local, State and
Federal agencies...These facts have been reported in National News yet this
is being allowed to continue...The government is currently paying out
enormous amounts of overcharged monies to this Medical Monster in the care of
Medicaid, Medicare and other Governmental medical programs, the Monsters
influence is so great that politicians won't allow Government to negotiate
pharmaceutical prices with manufactures... That's how strong the medical
lobby is in Washington...WE NEED
CHANGE..WE NEED TIGHT GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL OVER THIS MEDICAL MONSTER
THAT IS SUCKING THE BLOOD FROM EVERYONE... SOME YELL THAT THE FREE
MARKET WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.. BULL SHIT!! THERE IS NO FREE
MARKET... THIS MONSTER HAS WITH GOVERNMENT
HELP CLOSED THE MARKET OF ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL HELP OR NATURAL
CURES AND TREATMENTS.... THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL HELP...
THERE FOR NO FREE MARKET, NO COMPETITION, NO ABILITY FOR CONSUMERS TO DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES WHAT ALTERNATIVE COURSE TO TAKE..We are captive consumers, we
are being milked of our hard earned monies and assets at an increasing
rate.....
I hear some people who oppose Universal Health
Care say that the taxpayer has no constitutional obligation to provide health
coverage to those who can not afford it. I agree we have no constitutional
obligation to provide funds for universal health care.
We also
have no constitutional obligation to pay for the FDA (which is nothing more than
a Lap Dog to the Pharmaceutical Companies and Insurance
Industry), or any other Lap Dog agency that holds low income
families to a captive market and limiting their choices of alternative medicines
they can afford.
Oddly, the ones who fight most against National
Health care are those who profit from the status quo, or rich enough
to afford health care, or are still high enough in the corperate system to
still have their Medical covered by the corperation.
And some of these people
in the upper echelons of corperate America have coverage while denying coverage
to their hourly workers.. You can bet the cost of their coverage is
figured into the cost to their consumers, some of which maybe their own
employees, helping to pay for THEIR
coverage....
See, times have changed drastically. not
to long ago a poor family could give a local Doctor a pig or chicken or a pie or
trade work as payment. The Doctor would actually make a house
call. Today there are very, very few Doctors I know of who serve the
community in this way. Most Doctors will drop you like a rock if you fail
to make payments. Some Doctors and Hospitals will not even treat you if
you do not have insurance. So if you make $1500 or less per month you are
up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Food, housing and transportation
to work along with clothing and lights and heating will eat this monthly amount
up leaving nothing for medical insurance. Lets see $1500 divided by
160 which is 4 weeks at 40 hours a week is: $9.375 an hour, and what is minimum
wage again? hmmmm. get my point. See the rich have no
problem with paying for health care. Politicians will get free
universal coverage for life along with their full salaries to boot,
paid for by, guess who, you, whether you have insurance or not.
Those who can afford health care are lucky. More and more companies are
dropping health care coverage for their employees stating that the cost has gone
to high. So if a company cannot afford to pay a partial sum of the
coverage with the employee contributing his part, how in the world is the
employee able to take on the whole sum. Hint, they are not, 44
million Americans are without any insurance at all. This number is growing
rapidly. So I say to those who are rich enough to still afford health
care, count your lucky stars, if it is partially paid for by your company, I say
you better plan ahead, the day is coming when this coverage will
end. Most Americans are only 3 months from being
homeless.They are not lazy, or on the public dole. They are hard
working Americans, raising kids, paying rent or a Mortgage, putting food on the
table and trying to save for college and maybe a vacation. This is the
group that is loosing health care at an alarming rate. To the rich,
medical insurance investors, pharmaceutical investors and the politicians who
support a free market in the Health industry, it is a gold mine. This is a
Monopoly, I kid you not.These same opponents to a National Health Care
system would have you believe that Charities should help those who cannot afford
Medical Help.. Think about that for just one second and you realize that
the need is right now and Charities can not fill the gap even now or it would
not be a growing problem....I don't advocate only a Socialized Universal
coverage, but any system other than the one we got. It would have
to provide any American citizen with health care no matter their
income. It maybe a system paid for by the government and paid for
through taxation or it maybe government law requiring Insurance companies to set
health care premiums based on income rather than coverage and may hold some
perks for the insurance companies for doing so. Or it could be a MAJOR
overhaul of laws that give support to those who currently cannot afford
conventional health care.But for the greatest nation in the world to
have 44 million uninsured citizens and growing is not right no matter how you
paint it... And then as stated above to outlaw treatments and cures
that cost far and away less is criminal. Remember, 80 percent
of the world does not rely solely on Western Medicine if at all nor does
their governments require them to, ours does. We no longer live in
a society that allows bartering for medical services. Therefore we may not
have a constitutional obligation to pay for universal health care but you know
deep down this should be a basic human right of any human to be cared for when
ill or hurt buy what ever means the person can afford....So if you don't
want to curb the Medical Monsters powers and / or provide Universal Healthcare
then at least make it lawful for those who cannot afford current
medical cost to seek alternative medical help they can afford
...Some say you can tell the strength and Morality of a Nation by
the way their animals are treated. I would add, and how Universal
(Affordable) their Health Care is for
EVERYONE....
