Health Care... Up for Discussion:

If we are paying attention to the political conversation, the topic of health care is 'up for discussion'. In my opinion it is a conversation and discussion we all would find beneficial to engage in, examining it closely and objectively with no emotional attachments.

I have concern for the type of health care and services offered from the bureaucrats, the pharmaceutical companies, and the insurance companies. In a nearly 2000 page bill there is nothing about offering a model of health services to land on the responsibility of each individual. It is all about the powers that be controlling our health concerns, rationing it, and choosing who will live and who will die based on age and state of health.

The perception that is desired for the masses to believe is that everybody has to take care of those without health care insurance. So there are those in Washington who are creating the illusion that in order for all to benefit there should be a one payer system. Now don't get side tracked here and start to suggest that is a good thing without giving it some critical thinking.

What would a structure like this look like? For starters, it will be mandatory to have the one brand of insurance. All other policies will have to go. Everyone has to have the governments/corporation insurance. Wait a minute... if there is one payer, why would we buy into the system when we pay the kind of taxes we pay... wouldn't our taxes cover universal health care???? The one payer system will have access to your bank account, and your credit report which would insure payment and assess rates according to your credit report. (This is already in effect when purchasing auto insurance.) Then to keep us safe and 'well' we will be ordered (mandated) to take vaccines or antibiotics, and will be fed food from their genetically modified crops. There will be no choices in what treatment we can have, it will be rationed, to save money when we are paying premiums for services. We will be totally controlled by a system and all freedoms will be removed.

I don't know about you, to me it looks as if someone will be profiting a great deal from all the tax money, insurance premiums, the purchasing of our medicines.

This is obviously a brief dot of the nearly 2000 page bill before congress. Those who have read it are saying it is draconian and unconstitutional. It was put together by both parties (so no finger pointing here). This legislation has one intention which is a total government take over of the health care system.

OK, now let us take a look at the other side of the coin.

Health care being the responsibility of each person who possesses a body, mind, and spirit. There are a lot of modalities out there that work together to bring about reversals of conditions that seem to be permanent. There are also a lot of alternative health therapies that can manage dis-ease effectively and with less strain on the liver, kidneys and overall balance of the body which toxic ingredients take out of balance. Choice in the manner of treatment and what modality an individual knows is best for themselves. The general population would be well educated to the care of their most prize possession, their body.

Because a lot of choices would be present, there would also be competition, which is the free market at work. Prices would be affordable. Quality would be superb. Without government rules to hide under people would practice with more ethics or they will not stay in business (no government skirt to hide under which is called the license).

If people are in a serious state of health, there would be hospitals that would be managed without the controls of government/pharmaceutical/insurance companies. America has done that in the past. We can develop a very good health care system by utilizing the talents of us all.

There is a lot of conversation to be discussed like;
  • Costs of the current system.
  • The monopoly the current system is under.
  • Alternative modalities and how to utilize them.
  • Keeping government regulators out.
  • Nullifying all licensed procedures performed by the Corporate State. Certification of completion is all that would be necessary to practice. Ethics would determine one's success in their practice.
The thought of nullifying the licensing of practitioners may be met with much resistance until a closer examination is taken. The reason for licensing is NOT so the government keeps the public safe, nor does it guarantee there will be only well educated people performing on an ethical high ground.

Licensing is this:
  • Revenue collection from testing and licensing.
  • A vector for control over health services.
  • Revenue collection from fines if the health services provider treats a patient/client in a different fashion than the governing body gives permission to.
  • Allowing only one method of treatment which would support the pharmaceutical industries with their chemical medications, that are not always safe or effective, and expensive. These are toxic after prolonged use, putting more demand on the body or creating a new condition of dysfunction.
Non-licensing is this:
  • Setting up a practice, private or in a 'clinic' without interference.
  • As a client, there would be choice in who to see or what type of modality is preferred.
  • Educating the public to the care and concerns of the body.
  • Medicines would be such things as good organic food to get necessary nutrients, herbs, homeopathic remedies, all being safe, effective, and inexpensive.
I have just grazed the surface. There is a lot of material to be discussed and a lot of points of view people will have as to their own bias and needs. All these concerns can be considered.

Is there a different way which offers results, no harm? Is there a way for us to have it all? The best of both worlds where freedom to choose is never abused. A system that also educates the general public to being responsibility for their own bodies health and what is important to maintain it, what is harmful for it. Teaching the public to be responsible for the choices made. That is the essence of freedom. Responsibility must be present for freedom of choice to work.

What sort of health services should we be looking for? What are your ideas?

Health care... anyone up for a discussion?

Medical Structure... Do We Understand It?

Structures in our society are set up to hold us into a particular belief structure or understanding of reality that may or may not be what we think it is.

Let's take the medical structure. What we accept in this structure is total control over our health. We have gotten to the point of not even thinking for ourselves anymore. We have allowed the powers that be to disconnect us from our bodies, they have taken away our choices, and have become an authoritarian position that will jail people or take children away from parents for not consenting by way of force to medical treatments that they choose. In particular this occurs when people refuse to do the standard cancer therapies.

I am not saying that if someone chooses to do these forms of treatment that they are 'bad' or 'wrong', I am simply stating that some people would like to do the natural treatments, which there are many. Some of these treatments have the ability to reverse cancers. Because it is not a form of therapy that the powers that be can control, or patent, they make rules and policies hidden as laws so the control and money can be funneled into the pockets of the few, while people loose their homes and property with large medical bills on treatments that are more or less mandated, and do not prolong life for most people in a dynamic way.

So we accept this as reality and become very fearful at the mention of cancer. We then subject ourselves to often unnecessary surgeries and toxins for treatment that does a lot of damage to tissues and systems within the body. These strong toxic materials create imbalance to our bodies, brings our mind into disconnected thoughts and often experience lows in our emotional state. So then with these imbalanced we are prescribed more toxins and the circle keeps on a downward spiral. We get no mention of good nutrition or supplementation to restore the damage that is done by these harsh and toxic methods. We are placed into a structure that is taking our money and diminishing the quality of our lives, and at worse shortening our life.

What our bodies need is simple. Minerals, vitamins, good fats, clean water, fresh air, exercise of some sort, time for prayer or meditation, clean organic food, sunlight. If we were to alter our lifestyle the health we gain would be altered incredibly.

So in the medical structure of today, we have gone down the road to take what the doctor says without question and to pay whatever the costs are. We take medicine that is advertised on TV that is nothing more than a marketing tool to sell these drugs. We thoughtlessly submit ourselves to dangerous drugs, vaccines, and surgeries without thinking or asking any questions. Most of these situations have a much safer and effective alternative. Shame on us for giving up our power by allowing the 'commands' of insurance companies, and physicians to dictate to us what is best for us regardless of the side effects. The structure of the current medical model is a business making a lot of money on our dis-ease. We act as if this business is the word of god.

What to do about this? For one we can alter our eating, we can become more educated to what is going on in this structure, we can examine the vaccines and choose whether or not we wish to put that sort of a serum into our infants bodies, we can ask questions of physicians, pharmacists, and others who are involved with a particular method of health care to explain what it is they wish for us to take, the side effects and any alternatives. By making sure we get the answers that we desire from those we are asking, we will be empowered and can take responsibility for our health, choosing to gain knowledge and understanding about the needs our body requires to give to us good health.

We do have choices, and we do have the power to say NO to things that we do not wish to undergo.

Part of the problem we face is also in understanding the way this structure works from the inside out. The discovery will be the medical industry is a business which profits by illness, drugging and often unnecessary surgeries. It needs to keep people on the edge of ill health and continue to oppress the therapies that can offer complete healing.

We can say good bye to the health insurance we have been told we need, which is another topic in itself. We can say good bye to chronic illnesses, we can live with high energies, a sound mind, balanced emotions, and hold our power of choice IF we choose to be responsible for our body's needs.

We may think that socialized medicine will be the answer to these issues, however we will only have more rules and a tighter structure. What is needed in this for real health choices is a structure of free market which is not understood yet by most.

My next blog I will discuss the distinctions of socialized medicine and the free market.
