Your Economy (No Politics)

[gloe]

That really says it all for me. The problem with health care in this country is not that a large number of people have no health insurance. The problem is the whole focus of the "medical industry" on "disease care", mostly with pharmaceuticals that do more harm than good. Few people think they should WORK at their health; instead, they think: got an ill, take a pill!

Just a little example: a friend has very bad heartburn, but instead of making ANY dietary changes [coffee really bothers her, but she keeps gulping it down] she takes the "purple pill" very expensive drug, then needs another drug to alleviate some of the side effects of the first one.
