There are a handful of people who profit enormously directly from illness. If you hurt or have a life threatening disease you will pay, somehow. You’ll give up your home and any luxury just to save the life of a loved one.
Those people who do profit from this do have more money than they could possibly need for their own health and happiness.
I do believe that they are not entirely sane. It does not bother them when incredible numbers of people die of diseases that could be cured, or even prevented. I believe that this handful of people are insane. Their stance is, itself a disease.
Those are the people that keep the health care system in place the way it is. So, I think that the health care system is a system. It is a system to advance and promote disease. Disease is essential in order to keep the money of the nation more and more concentrated in the pockets of those few. If I didn’t have to work 14 hours a day, I’d love to research and find them.
I guess this is another part of their system. Either people are so poor they have given up completely, or they work 14 hours a day and barely have the time to get some lunch.
My hope is, that President Obama can make the first step to achieve change. Its a baby step, but you have to start somewhere.

Well said Sonja!
As he says it is more about “disease management”, management does by no means imply “prevention”.

The addage “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is never more true. Especially with the rape and pillage medical system we have now.
When it comes to medicin we are in the third world
