As noted in the first article of this series, health care reform is clearly needed in America. To look to big government to provide this reform is like asking the fox to guard the chicken house. As usual, government presents itself as the cultural balm to heal all wounds. In reality it has become the cultural bomb to wound all heels. The “heels” of course are all those who desire to employ the power of government to give them something for which they are too lazy to work.

As details of the health care reform bill are more widely disseminated, the more evident it becomes that it is a blatant attack on freedom of choice and genuine health care reform. As flawed as the U.S. Constitution is, it provides no authorization for the federal government to provide for the health of American citizens. Moreover, health care is not a service provided by civil government in the Bible.

The Crux of Socialized Medicine

Frederic Bastiat made this abundantly clear in his little classic, “The Law,” over 100 years ago. He first points out that the first and only purpose of the civil magistrate is to establish justice by applying the law to specific situations. Under the law no man is permitted to intrude upon the life, liberty or property of any other without incurring wrath and penalty.

But socialism turns the law on its head, abusing its power to confiscate the wealth and property of one for the benefit of another. Or as Barack Obama puts it, “Health care is a right, not a privilege.” By this means the law is perverted from a tool of justice to a tool of injustice.

“The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder…The law has been perverted by the influence of two entirely different causes: stupid greed and false philanthropy.” -Frederic Bastiat

Thus, the civil government has no business whatsoever meddling in the health care industry beyond a possible interest in preserving public health and safety. To go further than this is to usurp the role of God and his church, which is treason against the kingdom of God. God will not let this arrogance go unpunished.

The Cost of Socialized Medicine

Any flaws in the private health care system will be exploited by a government seeking to expand its power beyond the requirements of simple justice. The “cure” is always worse than the disease when government gets involved, as seen in the outcomes of ObamaCare below:

* Costs are projected to exceed a trillion dollars

* Doctors will flee the system, resulting in rationing of treatment

* “End of life” counseling will result in more assisted suicide

* When the dust settles abortions will be funded with taxpayers’ money

* It will give free health care to illegal aliens

* An already shaky medical system will be pushed to the brink of insolvency

Government poses as the great protector of human health, when in reality government regulation suppresses discoveries that would optimize it. Conventional medicine slogs along groping for “the cure” to diseases that have long since been conquered by other modalities overseas. But because of restrictions, these innovations have been suppressed within our own borders.

This amounts to government suppression of freedom of choice, a form of tyranny that penalizes physicians who only desire to do what’s best for their patients. Denial of the most effective treatment is often fatal. Nonetheless, if a procedure falls outside the realm of accepted practice it is shunned no matter how effective it may be.

Medicine is a subset of science where this kind of prejudice has been operative for centuries. Only by a great upheaval are ineffective modes of theory and practice discarded. We saw this for example, in the Copernican Revolution, the Newtonian Revolution, and in Einstein’s Quantum Revolution. The latter has opened up exciting new vistas on the role that underlying energy fields play in human health.

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.
