 REPPED: Want a real solution to skyrocketing health care costs? Forget about all the so-called "cost saving" schemes dreamed up by politicians, drug companies and HMOs. All they do is create new levels of bureaucracy that don't address the real problems of why health care costs are so high in the first place. In this article, we'll look at how to fundamentally cut health care costs by 90% nationwide -- while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for all Americans -- through a program of education and disease prevention that starts with changing the way doctors are educated. |
| Yet another excellent strategy for slashing national health care costs is to allow nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about what their supplements do for your health. This is something the FDA has disallowed for decades. They have never allowed manufacturers of nutritional supplements to make true statements about what those supplements can do for your health. |

 After all, we're talking about health care costs here, right? How much financial sense does it make to allow food companies to poison the population, and then have to foot the bill for treating all the resulting diseases from that poison? This financial burden really belongs with the food companies. Perhaps food companies should be required to pay the health care costs for all the consumers they harm. |

 Just about everybody's either financially strained or going broke due to spiraling health care costs: the people, the employers, state governments and even the federal government. Multinational corporations are fleeing the United States due to health care costs, taking jobs and economic productivity with them. Meanwhile, 50 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to medical expenses.
But not everybody's doing badly. |

 Why is our government so baffled by the obesity problem and what to do about skyrocketing health care costs? As a country, we consistently take ineffective steps to head off the obesity epidemic, and with each misstep we are packing on the pounds and exposing ourselves to more preventable diseases, which drive health care costs into the stratosphere. For some reason, the brain trust in our government has not figured out how to provide significant legislation to reward people for leading a healthier lifestyle or reward companies for providing programs that help improve the health of employees. |

I find it absolutely appalling if not downright ridiculous that the people in our country who are responsible for health don't understand the fundamentals of nutrition. That med schools don't teach nutrition is I think one of the strongest statements yet about the sad state of conventional medicine. |

 The illusion that there is a successful treatment for every disease has led to the escalation of increasingly complex forms of illness and increasingly prohibitive health care costs. Many patients who are released from hospitals leave with the conviction that they are healed from whatever was wrong with them. They believe that since the problem has been "fixed" they can just get on with their lives again. Drugs, surgery, and other medical treatments deceive in this way. |

 General Motors spends more on health insurance than it does on steel. The cost of doing business in the United States is now unbearable for many companies, and they're fleeing to other countries where health care costs are a fraction of U.S. costs.
Fifteen Democratic and thirty-three Republican senators believe U.S. citizens and businesses should be forced to pay the highest prices in the world for medications. Monopoly market conditions must be upheld. Keeping Americans diseased, uninformed and financially exploited is simply too profitable to walk away from. And corporate control over the U. |

 If we end this medical madness now, and outlaw drug advertising while prosecuting the criminals responsible for overmedicating America, we may have a chance at a better future with drastically reduced health care costs. It's going to take courage, honesty and ethics to get this done, but the alternative is to lose our nation to a dark future of medical tyranny, bankruptcy and despair.
Conventional medicine, as practiced today, has truly become the No. 1 obstacle to the health of the American people. Get medicine out of the way, and we would all be healthier, happier and better off. |

 Many cities and states are right now facing the very real possibility of bankruptcy due to health care costs (providing benefits to current and former government employees). A large percentage of those costs are spent on monopoly-priced pharmaceuticals. This Dorgan amendment would set city and state governments free to finally engage in fundamental free market price comparisons and save substantial sums of money in sourcing the very same chemical medications for their employees and retirees. |

 Businesses are going bankrupt or moving offshore because of health care costs, and even those that can afford to operate on U.S. soil are faced with the reality that it's almost impossible to hire employees who can actually think these days thanks to the widespread use of brain-damaging prescription drugs. Success stories like Google are increasingly rare.
I remember living in Taiwan in the 1990's, and I paid something like $4 / month for health insurance coverage. A visit to the doctor cost me $2 out of pocket. |

 On top of that -- get this -- we pay the highest health care costs in the world!
All that money apparently isn't doing any good. Meanwhile, free cures for cancer are available right now in the form of natural sunlight. Nearly-free prevention methods are well documented and include nutritional supplementation with vitamin D. We know how to prevent cancer, it's just that the corrupt politicians and dirty non-profits in charge of this country won't allow the disease to be prevented at all. |
| And it's going to pay the ultimate price: As I've stated before, I believe that health care costs and the mass poisoning of the American people will ultimately cause this nation to self destruct. The "America experiment" is nearly over, and when the whole giant mass of disease and debt collapses, we're going to be left with a nation of mutant humans hopped up on pharmaceuticals... infertile, mentally impaired, emotionally imbalanced and nutritionally devastated.
We have very nearly lost the battle for the future of this country. |

But not everybody's doing badly. The drug companies, surgeons, medical specialists, health insurance companies and private hospitals are making out like bandits, raking in multi-million dollar CEO salaries and -- I'm not making this up -- greater than 500,000% markups on prescription drugs. |

 Regardless of what you believe on this issue, it's sort of a moot point, because our nation is going bankrupt anyway, and much of that bankruptcy is caused by health care costs. Today, our health care costs absorb 25 percent of our gross domestic product. One out of every four dollars is spent for healthcare, and that number is rising. It is bankrupting our nation, and just as significantly, it is reducing our competitiveness in the global marketplace. |

 We would see a dramatic decline in chronic disease and health care costs. All this is showing the power of information to make positive changes in people's lives. This information is helping people make a difference. It is lowering their health care costs, no doubt, and it is improving their longevity and quality, and you'll see that reflected in the additional numbers here.
Given all the information now available on the health benefits of vitamin D and natural sunlight exposure, it is encouraging to learn that 56 percent of readers have now taken steps to experience more sunlight. |

 But that customer might experience $50,000 in health care costs and lost productivity as a direct result of the eating that margarine product containing hydrogenated oils. Yet the manufacturer has no responsibility under the laws written today to compensate the customer for his or her health care costs or loss of productivity related to the consumption of the margarine product.
In this way, food manufacturers shift the economic burden of their unhealthy foods and ingredients on to consumers. |

 But though fast food may be good business for the health care industry, the cost to society—an estimated $250 billion a year in diet-related health care costs and rising rapidly—cannot be sustained indefinitely. An American born in 2000 has a 1 in 3 chance of developing diabetes in his lifetime; the risk is even greater for a Hispanic American or African American. A diagnosis of diabetes subtracts roughly twelve years from one's life and living with the condition incurs medical costs of $13,000 a year (compared with $2,500 for someone without diabetes). |

 When cities, states and countries start to declare bankruptcy due to outrageous health care costs, the winds of change will blow stronger than ever. The clock is ticking against drug-based medicine...
More consumers are choosing naturopathic medicine than ever before. The popularity of modalities such as homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, energy medicine, sound healing, massage therapy and mind-body medicine is at an all-time high... and it continues to rise! People are learning about what works, and they're pursuing natural, non-invasive therapies in increasing numbers. |

 Backed largely by political conservatives and free marketeers, consumer-driven health care is aimed at improving quality and bringing down health care costs by putting more decisions in the hands of patients. In consumer-driven plans, insurers offer lower health insurance premiums in return for high deductibles, on the order of four thousand dollars a year. The idea here is that if patients have more "skin in the game," or more of a financial stake in their care, they will pay more attention to cost and quality. |

 As we move toward an organic, live-food diet, we also move from: low-nutrient to high-nutrient-dense foods; from the suffering of disease symptoms to their dissolution; dead food to vibrant, living food; maximum to minimum health care costs; below-average to above-average life span; millions dying of starvation to almost none; a translative diet of eating for comfort alone to a transformative diet of eating as a means and support for personal growth. |

 Older generations would no longer be considered a burden, as they would be able to take care of themselves more and more rather than less and less. health care costs could be cut drastically, which may be the only way to safeguard continued progress and prosperity in nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom. If the current trend of escalating health expenditures in the United States continues to grow as fast as it has in recent decades, major corporations are likely to end up bankrupt if they continue to offer health insurance as a benefit to their employees. |
| The quick-fix approach of suppressing symptoms of disease is a major cause of chronic illness, premature death, and, of course, spiraling health care costs. Over 900,000 people die each year unnecessarily as a direct result of side-effects from expensive medical treatments. By comparison, it is very inexpensive to actually cure disease and prevent new diseases from arising. Conventional health care is becoming less and less affordable for most people in the world and is likely to become a rare privilege for a relative few in the future. |

 And even if the one-in-a-million reactions are considered "rare" by the CDC, the health care costs associated with those "rare" reactions are not insignificant. Here's one example.
One recognized complication of the flu shot is a condition called Gullian-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Guillian-Barre is disorder characterized by progressive paralysis, beginning in the feet and advancing up the body, often causing paralysis of the diaphragm and breathing muscles within a matter of hours or days.
Nearly all patients with GBS are hospitalized because of paralysis. The prognosis of GBS varies. |

 Then people say, "Well, my insurance is paying for my health care costs."
Ben: You're still paying for the insurance.
Mike: Exactly. Who's paying for the insurance? I mean, if you're going to make an argument like that, you're a fool. "I'm going to be sick because insurance covers that?" What kind of an idiot thinks that? But it's true; people do. I say that being healthy is very inexpensive. It's an inexpensive way to run your life. Do you know how much money I've spent on health care costs in the last three years?
Ben: How much?
Mike: It's very close to zero. |
