Looking at America’s Healthcare system and its effectiveness in helping people with chronic disease, there is little reason to feel positive about it nor to be hopeful that serious reforms will be implemented any time soon. The medical industrial complex realizes that a healthier nation not as dependent upon medical doctors nor pharmaceutical drugs will significantly reduce its monetary profits. The health of patients plays little importance when huge profits are at stake, and one must always remember that modern medicine is a business first and foremost. Health care in America is enormously costly because it’s designed to be that way.
One might think that the greater number of physicians would at least stand behind public policy reformers (such as RFK Jr.) since they know first-hand just how bloated and corrupt today’s medical matrix is. But I doubt this will prove to be the case on any large scale. This is because far too many individual physicians are themselves part of the problem. Though these same doctors may recognize the many obstacles associated with modern Healthcare on atheoretical level, they dare not speak out because of the threats this may bring to their medical license and status as a physician. (One only has to look at the treatment of doctors who fought the Covid narrative).
The system allows payment for any covered medical treatment, so there is no upper limit on the total. Since severe illnesses justify more reimbursement, hospitals and doctors do unnecessary lab tests and x-rays under the pretext that they suspect dangerous conditions. These create more bills and support invoices for extensive evaluations. Complicated, expensive treatments follow, which doctors order even if they are ineffective or damaging. Agatha Christie said, ‘When large sums of money are involved, it is advisable to trust nobody.’ She might have added, ‘Not even your doctor or hospital’” (Butchered by “Healthcare”: What to do About Doctors, Big Pharma, and Corrupt Government Ruining Your Health and Medical Care [Self-published, 2020], pp. 21-22).
