The Unholy Marriage to American Health Care

07-15-2009 • http://www.thenhf.com/articles/articles_932/articl

It 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 dangerous.. (By way of example, we are reducing our cholesterol with 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!

"It appears people have married the healthcare system in this country."

Ha ha...what an utterly moronic statement! Really, dude, how could anybody not be married to the healthcare system anywhere? Wouldn't that be like saying "my car is married to its mechanic"? You people make it sound as if healthcare is an option or a luxury and the human right and inherent necessity that it is
