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. RFK Jr. who was recently sworn in as the 26th Secretary of Health and Human Services, is likely to be roadblocked in his efforts to make America a healthier country. www.unz.com |
The medical industrial complex realizes that a healthier nation not as dependent upon medical doctors nor pharmaceutical drugs will significantly reduce its monetary profits. No matter what common sense reforms RFK Jr. proposes, it will likely be frowned upon and publicly resisted by multiple medical associations and academies. 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. Once you understand this, you’re on your way to be liberated from it.
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 a theoretical level, they dare not speak out because of the threats this may bring to their medical license and status as a physician.
