Revising HOW We Pay For US Health Care Is A Waste Of Time – We Need To Revise WHAT It Is We Are Paying For…
Drugs Do Not Heal – They Mask…
Opinion By “Deplorable” Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
Current US Health Care (ObamaCare) NEVER focuses on determining the cause of health problems and solving those issues. It ONLY focuses on symptoms. Why? Curing people is not good for business. There are no repeat customers.
Take for example the issue of high blood pressure. Your doctor will make absolutely NO EFFORT to find out the cause, and solve THAT issue, but they will load you up with expensive drugs to supposedly reduce that blood pressure.

(a) For MOST health problems – Example – the accepted Cancer offerings – known as “cut, poison, and burn.” Surgery (cut) has only SOME success. Chemotherapy (poison) is virtually worthless, but terribly expensive – and used MOSTLY, generating ridiculously high Cancer Treatment costs. Radiation (burn) is completely worthless and causes new problems. So why do we continue with this paradigm?
The official War on Cancer, funded, and put in place, in 1974, by President Richard Nixon has accomplished ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

And Cancer is only one issue of many we will be looking at.
(b) For A GOOD MANY health problems, since there are no high-priced drugs developed for it, and surgery won’t help, there is NO TREATMENT offered. As an example Cerebral Palsy, ALS, and far too many more…
(2) The government agencies we have put in place to regulate health care have turned against us.
