The current health care system overall does not work to benefit you in actually maintaining your health. It does not aim to provide patients with the health care that they deserve. Instead, it encourages you to wait until you get sick. Only then, the so called “health care system” would agree to participate in attempting to help you regain your health. In many cases, it is already too late, and most diseases are not reversible using the common conventional approach.
You, as the patient, end up being passed around between three entities – Hospitals, Doctors, and Insurance Companies – like a ping pong ball that is considered as just a profit generating commodity.
The philosophy of the current standard health care system seems to follow this approach: do nothing to prevent the fire (i.e. Disease), but once the Fire (Disease) has established itself, then your doctor may get to work to limit the collateral damage.
Who do you think suffers by such an approach? You do, as the customer who faithfully pays his or her monthly insurance premium.
As you continue to pay your insurance premium every month like a good citizen would, you have virtually no benefits of truly substantial preventive care. While your insurance company is making record high profits, your health is suffering irreversible damage. Have you heard of any of the large legitimate insurance companies going bankrupt? It’s very unlikely. If they do declare bankruptcy, the CEOs are still walking away with millions of dollars in bonus payments. Do you know what the most common cause of bankruptcy is in the United States (the richest nation on Earth)? Medical debt! Why is that? It is because, when you get sick, your health insurance company shifts the costs to you and decides to pay only half as much as they should pay. You often become stuck with a bill that is beyond your means of being able to pay it. That is why millions of Americans go bankrupt every year. This is a sad state of health care and it must change!
All changes start within. If we want to make a change the World, we must start changing ourselves first. It boils down to individual awareness, responsibility, and our collective consciousness. Only when we are aware of a problem as a society, then we can implement measures to address it appropriately.
Your monthly health insurance premium is not a true “Health Insurance Premium”, it is a “Healthy Income for the Insurance Companies before you get sick Premium”. Once you get sick, your benefits suddenly shrink and a lot of small print exceptions kick in – shifting much of the cost onto your shoulders.
