The Unholy Marriage to American Health Care

appears people have married the healthcare system in this country.
Americans are either unconvinced or unwilling to acknowledge that our
healthcare system is corrupt, under-serving, unmanageable and outright

statin drugs and bombarding our immune systems with live viruses,
debris and other neurotoxins annually to prevent influenza.) In other
words, the majority of us have taken some sort of sacred oath to
continue to adhere to the ludicrous practices we currently call health
care (such as reducing our cholesterol with statin drugs and bombarding
our immune systems with live viruses, debris and other neurotoxins
annually to prevent influenza) “for better or for worse until death do
us part.” As a consequence, a large number of us are fulfilling those
vows. A very large number of us are dying at the hands of our own
healthcare system!
