Health Insurance Now !

The existing business model of health care in this country is very good at what has been referred to as the “body & fender” component of modern medicine. However, it is dismally ignorant of what it takes to “keep the engine humming” and thus avoid disastrous system failure. This article takes a closer look at why the business model for health care stands in need of reform.

Rejects Wholistic Medicine

The current system (2010) promotes a mechanistic view of the human body, which tends to treat a malfunctioning organ in isolation, much like the independent systems of an automobile. If a part is broken just fix or replace it using the Just In Time (JIT) distribution model.

Related to this is an emphasis on treating symptoms rather than dealing with underlying issues that create the symptoms. A wholistic approach to health that treats the body as an integrated organism is ignored.

Embraces Harmful Drug Therapy

Drugs are produced which alleviate or mask symptoms and do not address underlying causes of disease. Drugs promote an acidic condition in the body which leads to retraction of the disease and sets the stage for other problems. A misleading distinction between “good” and “bad” drugs is established in the public mind.

In addition drugs usually produce side-effects which are often worse than the disease, including death. In fact, doctor induced death by means of drugs and other malpractice is the #3 cause of death in America, according to the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA, July 26, 2000;284(4):483-5). About 100,000 are killed annually by physician administered drugs.

Driven By Profit Motive

The American health insurance system exacerbates the problem by limiting coverage to the ineffective and expensive conventional treatments. This hampers the emergence of powerful breakthroughs that arise outside of mainstream medicine. Moreover, it forces everybody who has access to health insurance into the ineffectual system, which almost guarantees that they will develop serious degenerative disease.

The insurance system, which is supposed to protect Americans, instead shields them from the latest in medical innovation and improvement. The system encourages passivity and does little to motivate consumers to take control of their health.

The prevailing business model has a vested interest in maintaining a diseased condition in the populace, which requires ongoing purchase of expensive drugs. Breakthroughs that result in actual healing or cure are a threat to the system. Thus, billions are spent on propaganda to convince the public and health care practitioners that drugs are the way to go.

The business model has driven costs into the stratosphere and made benefits of health care unavailable to the poor and much of the middle class apart from so-called government assistance. The ineffectiveness of the existing business model is legendary and invites further government intervention to “solve” the problem with health care reform.
