The Inconvenient Truth of Health Care is that there is no healthcare,

only disease and injury management. The unholy triad of allopathic MDs

, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals,
acting in their OWN interests, and not in the interest of patients,

doing their business as usual,
and taking a bit more of a bite every year so that in a century, prices

for medical care have become
the number one reason for personal bankruptcy in the USA, combined with

the insurance companies,
who demand premiums every month, but never want to agree anything is

medically necessary, have broken health care such that we have the MOST

EXPENSIVE medical care in the world, but the quality is 37th among

industrialized nations( source is the World Health Organization),

meaning we are paying a great deal for inferior care. Plus, the

incentive from a financial perspective is NOT to get someone well and

try to keep them well. The financial carrot is that the longer someone

stays ill,
and then gets worse, ensures maximization of utilization of high dollar

services.

The real scary thing is that ANYONE would EVER think that they should

put the responsiblity for fixing this mess in the hands of the very

people and groups who, after a century of mishandling of medicine, have

CAUSED this mess. They , as a group, quite clearly, are the PROXIMATE

CAUSE of our broken system , in which 50 MILLION are totally without

healthcare, and those WITH insurance, are often even worse off. If you

don't believe this, watch the movie SICKO by Michael Moore.
