I can't say I'm well informed on the details of most political and issues like these, which are a serious problem today. I can though appreciate your point and would expand further to say, I can recognize some of the outlandish methods practiced in the medical world, like you mentioned. I'm going off track from Waynes post here as well.

One of the things I see that I think is contributing to the health problems is the way people live. There are so many more people now, with the immigration, population ever increasing, that do not take care of themselves. They have no regard for choosing a healthy diet, excercise. I went to the doctors office the other day, and I see the same in public all the time just the same, people are obese, they smoke cigarettes, consume alcohol in excess, and just don't eat properly.

Doctors today, have a vast selection of drugs to prescribe, supporting a huge pharmaceutical industry, supplying way overpriced drugs to people, it seems they often do things like, "well here just take these, add some of those and that will help" meanwhile your liver is taking on too many chemicals, this almost killed my long time farmer friend, a good doctor came in and told him, his wife in front of me while visiting him in the hospital that what he was on is ridiculous, well that idiot who prescribed these things contributed to at least 12 hospital stays and numerous procedures, the man went through hell and it cost probably six figures. He is finally doing much better, some of these doctors are no prize today.

Look at the carriage next to you, when grocery shopping, you will see what I am talking about. We have inner city people around here, they all seem to fit into a stereotype, just by looks, (yes its wrong and I have no right to judge, I use it as an example only because it is so prevalent and easily recognized).

Obesity is common, maybe the norm, cigarettes, alcohol, food that is not fit for swine in my opinion, they're caught in a bad groove, lack of education, many don't have decent jobs, can't afford to do better, it seems like s snowball effect, others may not even care or don't really know how important it is to take care of yourself. Personal hygiene is atrocious with some, people reek of filth, yet we live in modern times.

This is what I see, not judge. I'm no better than anyone else to be quite frank, but I absolutely know how wrong it is to abuse your body like so many do. Sheesh, many are still quite young, and could be improving themselves, but they are not. The health problems they have are no doubt feeding this problem. Kids are growing up without the benefit of knowing that video games and junk food is a poor choice, drugs, alcohol abuse does not help them or adults, on and on and on...... fast forward to the doctors office the other day, a vascular specialist, there was a huge gelatinous local radio/television newsman who had to be 400lbs, and sounded like he was going to keel over in the waiting area, an educated, well spoken man, been on the air for years, I know there are other problems that may not be life choices, but overall, we can't ignore people caught in this lifestyle, its not doing them any good, nor the rising cost of health care. You almost wish you could help them somehow, people did not live like this years ago, it was just common sense that you need to take care of yourself, as well as there was much more physical activity be it your job or chores at home, look at people in old photos, you don't see obesity. People were not lazy and victims of their own devices. People often times need leadership, someone to lean on and someone to motivate them, help them, some are just evil, but how in the heck can we stop this aspect of poor health by choice without taking measures to help them, after all it starts by making wise decisions in the first place.
