I listen to President Obama's speech last night on Health Care. Not one time, in that speech, did he say "you are responsible for the health of yourself and your family" In his mind and all liberal, socialists in government is that they have to do every for us. We too stupid to anything for ourselves. Health Care is based on two things (1) you get sick and have to go to the doctor(2) you get started on one or a group of medications. Remember, the doctor doesn't get paid unless you are sick or think you are. In rare cases, health plans pay doctors a set fee for all the patients on that plan, no matter how many of then come to see him. This makes the doctor want to see you well and not sick. This is very rare. Next the companies selling the medications can't make money unless you take their medications. Watch all the ad's on TV, there is a drug to cure everything. Forget that the side effects of some of these drugs are worse that the condition you have or don't have. The ad's are to tell you have a certain condition and you should run to the doctor for this medication. You always see some actor that looks like a doctor, in a white coat, telling you to run for this medication or some other actor telling how great this product is. Remember, you have to be sick or think you are sick for doctors, hospitals and so to make money. This new government health plan congress is trying to ram thru is not about health care. It's about making you and me depedent on them and being able to control us.
You health is the best thing you have. Without good health , what do your have? Nothing!
Treat your health as if it was worth a billion dollars. It is.
What is required for normal person to have good health. (1) Eat the right foods, stay away from all that junk food. (2) Exercise regulary (3) Keep your weight under contol.(4) no smoking, heavy drinking or drug use. (4) Take vitamins and mineral supplements.
We have the best health care system, in the world, with the worst health. Americans, as a whole put no value on their health. They think doctors can fix anything. They can't. I repeat,
treat you health as if it were worth a billion dollars. It is.
We should all be personally responsible for everything we do it life, including our health.
I am going to do my best to keep my good health. I hope you are too.
