Meanwhile, 50 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to medical expenses. 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. And while the American people get sicker, the drug companies, insurance companies and many health "care" providers (it's really more like "sick care providers") are rolling in cash.

Study shows the public is turning to alternative medicine and away from dangerous prescription drugs Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Half of personal bankruptcies are now due to the high cost of medical insurance and health care. Employers can no longer afford medical insurance and remain competitive in the global marketplace. You see, a lot of jobs are leaving the country simply because the health care and health insurance costs are skyrocketing to the point where we can't compete in the global economy. Organized medicine has given us a system of disease and bankruptcy, and all it can do is worry about the "pretty scary" side effects of alternative therapies that might actually help people be healthy.

Where's the health in health reform? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And when you die broke, you'll be in good company: nearly one-third of personal bankruptcies in this country are now due to medical bills. Boy, do we have a solution for you! Uncle Sam will soon try to sell you a new health care solution. It's called socialized medicine, and what it means is that everybody is still just as sick as they were before, but now the whole system is streamlined, with astounding new efficiencies, because it will be managed and coordinated by the most efficient, compassionate administrative system in the world: the U.S. government.

Ethics: the all-important lesson that's rarely taught in medical schools or public schools Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

A recent study says that nearly half of all personal bankruptcies in the United States are due to medical bills. And that's true, but I think that the big bankruptcy in this country is the ethical bankruptcy. We are morally and ethically bankrupt as a nation. The results of that bankruptcy include skyrocketing rates of chronic disease, increased stress in daily life, reduced quality of life, growing social problems, the mass diagnosis of mental and behavioral disorders, a failing health care system, deep bankruptcy at the federal government level, and much more.

Consider where we are today with organized medicine: 50% of all personal bankruptcies in America are due to medical bills. Vioxx alone is now reportedly responsible for killing more Americans (via heart attacks) than all American fatalities in the Vietnam War. (Source: The Lancet) 2/3rds of the FDA's own drug safety scientists don't believe the agency can protect the American public from dangerous drugs. (Source: FOIA of HHS / FDA internal survey.) Scientific censorship, intimidation, distortion of clinical trials, and the bribing of doctors is now the norm. (Source: Dr.

The health insurance problem is not an insurance problem, it is a health problem Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We've also just learned that 50% of all personal bankruptcies in the United States are caused by medical bills. Think about that for a moment: the disease-care industry is bankrupting our families and our nation. Only a fool would think the answer is to introduce a drug discount card or some other such nonsense. That's like tossing a cup of water on a raging house fire. We don't need to be spending 25% of our G&P on health insurance and health care services. What we should be doing is spending something like 3% of the G&P on disease prevention and education.

Fifty percent of personal bankruptcies in the United States are now due to medical bills, and as a nation, we're literally going bankrupt paying for our modern sick care industry: Nearly twenty cents of every dollar spent by our federal government now goes to pay for sick care. That number will soon be 25 cents, or a quarter of our entire federal spending.

Health Care Meltdown: Confronting The Myths and Fixing Our Failing System Bob LeBow, M.D., M.P.H. See book keywords and concepts

But the cards are so stacked against the patients in our system (45 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are related to medical bills) that the mantra of "personal responsibility" is like asking a school of naive minnows to swim in a sea full of sharks. Instead of complaining about the misuse of ERs, our system should be adapting more to meet the needs of people seeking care. As for the drinkers, smokers, and over-eaters, the solution goes beyond the health care system. It involves society as a whole.
