Well here is the answer why.
- Pharmaceutical
companies make billions of dollars when you are on prescription drugs
- Local
drug stores and pharmacies make money when you fill prescriptions
- Obamacare
makes sure you get subsidies and assistance if the drugs are too expensive
- Big
Pharma pays a kickback to your doctor for prescribing their drugs to you
- The
President and Congress refuse to change the law so you can get off the
drugs
Call it what you like,
there is no such thing as health care improvement in our system of health
care. Through doctors, clinics, and
emergency rooms, drug companies treat your diseases and disorders with drugs
that help manage the disease.
No one pays for you to get you well.
No one pays for a nutritional evaluation so you know the cause of the problem.
No one pays for proven herbal treatments used for thousands of years to eliminate the
problem that caused the disease in the first place.
No one pays for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment including herbs, acupuncture, physical
training, and working knowledge of the Five Elements.
The Five Elements are a
comprehensive template that organizes all natural phenomena into five master
groups or patterns in nature. Each of the five groups—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal,
and Water—include categories such as a season, a direction, climate, stage of
growth and development, internal organ, body tissue, emotion, aspect of the
soul, taste, color, sound . . . the categories are seemingly limitless. The
Five Elements reflect a deep understanding of natural law, the Universal order
underlying all things in our world.
Traditional Chinese
Medicine reflects a principle unknown in America
Ironically, ignoring thousands of years of TCM experience, our health care system refuses to recognize the body
of TCM work and refuses to make insurance companies pay to heal you using these
techniques.
Maybe there is hope
however. Take the case of the use of a
banned drug, cannabis, for medical purposes.
Over half the states in America
These states have ignored
the pressure from the politicians owned by these companies through campaign
contributions and outrageous speaker fees.
The states have even ignored the federal government regulatory laws from
the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by
legalizing the use of the herb cannabis, better know as marijuana, for
medicinal purposes.
That is a start toward
meaningful health care reform. You see,
marijuana works, is not addictive, has never resulted in a death from an
overdose, is substantially less expensive than Big Pharma drugs, and is not
controlled by the richest corporations in America.
Of course, marijuana should be decriminalized; release
the tens of thousands of people in prison for using it and save hundreds of
millions of dollars in taxpayer costs.
It deserves approval nationwide
for medicinal use and states should
continue to approve it for recreational use since it has none of the deadly
effects our legal drugs called alcohol and tobacco have wreaked on the public.
Far less controversial,
and far more significant to improving health, would be to have the federal government require the insurance companies to pay for
nutritional examines for all individuals and treatment for nutritional
deficiencies.
At the same time, the federal government must approve the use of
TCM by certified practitioners and order the insurance companies to cover
it.
If the administration and
congress can act in the public interest and do this, America
Demand this action from
your representatives in Washington ,
D.C.
Besides, for the first
time in our history our last three presidents all admit to smoking marijuana. It must not be that bad.
