Industrialized Medicine

Upon reflecting upon my reflections of recent, it dawned upon me today among the other problems we have in America, the most grievous one is...?  Actually it fairly is simple.  Even with the downfall of the public education system and America's infrastructure, and rampant and unethical political lobbying the most grievous failure of America is her healthcare system.   Hands down it occurred to me today that without this mine-laden, booby-trapped, embezzling factory America would be a better and more healthy place.  Gone would be the days when America's healthcare became a Wall Street commodity.  No more insurance companies, HMO's, CEO's, or Big Pharma.  Only home-grown, intelligent, compassionate, care-giving family doctors.  There would be a hospital.  Maybe two.  The rest of the sprawling industrial healthcare machine would rust into oblivion.  All of the clinics, laboratories, and imaging facilities would implode upon themselves dying from an airborne bacteria failed to be diagnosed from within.  Only grassroots, grass-fed, family doctors could know the answer to the disease from living in the fields treating workers.  Seeing, hearing, touching, experiencing human health as it is intended.  Having seen five doctors, had a hernia repair, visited the ER, and several clinics still not yet one of any personnel has ever examined my body.  I would have to pay for a physical?  I did, and I verbally was harassed by the desk clerk, a racist white-hating gang banger.  He overcharged me $300.00 for the physical, and later I was reimbursed by the office manager.  America's health care system is the most convoluted, ineffective, bureaucracy in America's history.  How did this happen, a system, a sprawling complex, a physical network of deceit and inefficiency.  How can cancer rates have risen with stem cell research?  How with advances in technology never before paralleled can people be dying at at higher frequencies?  It is because America's health care system is a bloated pig full of pork it only will be time before it collapses upon itself.  So many laymen, technicians, clerks, and assistants are profiting from America's ill health that never would we ever seek to improve it.  We make money from disease and poorly treating disease.  We would rather treat your symptoms.  This is what they are teaching in doctoring school.  Recently I saw a Nurse Practitioner, and she was an office manager.  Why didn't I see a doctor?  It was pointless, except that I bribed her out of a prescription.  It wasn't even an opiate!  It wasn't Tylenol 3!  It wasn't Percosett.  It was hydrochlorothyazide, a high blood pressure medication.  It wasn't even anxiety medication, which she agreed I needed.  She was so angry I didn't jump on the PSA dupe, she forgot to give it to me.  America's health care system, a debauchery of unnecessary processes, tests, scans, and consultation which solve nothing.  Only do they line the pockets of the aspiring rich.  It is a miracle that we all are not dead yet.
