Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Actually Jack you may be right, at least in my opinion. I live in Canada. And I was very surprised to read that Mike Adams evidently thinks that the health plans in Canada was a good and fair health plan. It most assuredly is not. In fact, we do not have just one 'universal' health plan for the whole country, just to begin with . And they are all have to be paid for by the consumers, like me. You get what you pay g for, just like anything else. And if your health plan does not cover a test or treatment or specialist, then it means we have to pay for it on top of the health plan. And of course alternative medicine in not covered under most of the plans - though one can pay more money and also get a 'private' heatlh care plan too. And or doctors and hospitals and equivilent of FDA, Health Canada, non-profit associations, etc are influenced and corrupted by the drug companies similar to the States. blessings Shan , Jack Nichols <dolliwog60 wrote: > > The article you refer to says: " Almost everyone prefers universal Health Insurance " .

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 If the plan is paid for by government, I would not object. But if I am forced to pay money out of my pocket to pay for health insureance I do no want, I am decidedly against it!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Why would anyone who endorses Alternative Health want Universal Health Care? Almost everything supplied by the current broken allopathic system is useless no matter who pays for it. Their system of diagnosis can even be invasive and health threatening. I now am forced to accept and pay for Medicaid. Next I will have to pay for not only everyone else's drugs, but also their total reliance on the broken system. The term universal itself is misleading. What it will really mean is: if I work toward (and pay out of my pocket for) wellness and health, I will have to support those who take no interest in it. I have never seen a government financed system that has benefited me in any way except the G.I. bill and Social Security and I paid dearly for that both of them. The only way that I can possibly make Social Security actually pay off is to live a very long time... and I just may do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Thanks Shan, I hear the same thing from my Canadian friends. On the surface it sounds good, but it is like building a house with straws, the first big wind is going to tear it apart. Universal Health insurance is not a free ride, it comes out of someone's pocket. Jack Shan <surpriseshan2 wrote: Actually Jack you may be right, at least in my opinion. I live in Canada.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I want universal health care provided that we have a choice of choosing between an allopathic doctor or a naturalpathic doctor. If UHC is limited to only allopathic therapies that push bad drugs and make people sick then I am not so sure I would want it.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Some variation of universal health care might be the only way to make alternative health care more available. Once the med and pharma industries are satisfied that they'll have a stable source of income, they may not need to squash the alternatives quite so hard. - Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 There are so many problems with Universal health care in spite of propaganda that is being put out there by people like Moore.It doesn't matter how many people believe in it .Popular oppinion of the masses is the laziness of the individual. Putting money into gov. programs is like paying a whore; your'e goning to get screwed! How about people like me, I never use allopathic medical system?Will Universal Health care pay for my choice of medicine?For those who believe in the allopathic system,will their choice in treatment be limited? (you think your HMO choices are bad)Whos going to pick you doctor for you? In countries that have Universal health care ,1 out of 8 critically ill patients die before they are able to recieve treatment.Who wants to die waiting?I have a friend in one of those countries . She needed a MRI .She lived 3 mi. from a MRI machine but she had to travel 50mi. to the one asigned to her medical area.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I don't know alot about government funded health care but I ask what is wrong with that? What would be better than what we have? It is no good to have so many without insurance.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 IF the government pays for it then everyone pays through taxes and taxes come out of your pocket, just in a round about way. But still you get a system that suppresses symptoms with drugs, radiation, and surgery. It is NOT a health plan but a " drug pushers plan " Louise If the plan is paid for by government, I would not object. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I never thought of that. How could the government cover the cost anyways. they don't have the money for what we need now. And like you said, I want to have choices. We all can never be happy. There are always bad strings attached no matter what you have.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi All! I am a Canadian, and Socialized Medicine is right here in my back yard. I have/am using the system right now (have an appointment even today). Alternative medicine once was partially covered (10 visits only), but now, as privatization creeps into it (contrary to whaat most citizens want), it seems no longer covered. Except with trauma or broken bones---at which mainstream medicine excells---we are not forced (in many conditions) to use drugs. Even some of those do have a place. Profit, as we well know, drives much of that, and the patient still must be informed, independently of the doctor. In my present case, I must go for (State paid for) physiotherapy, and learn again, how to walk. Physiotherapy has been covered up to 10 treatments in a private clinic, and now I go to a rehabilitation hospital. I have a great array of supplements (I pay for) and 2 drugs. I would have more if I could afford to. Here, many Canadians contemplate a U.S. system with horror. Our system is not perfect, but necessities are covered (the 2 drugs are covered--$2,000 easily). We are taken care of, in the event of an accident. Surgery and many drugs are of questionable value, but for those who want this route, it is covered. Yes, the system is biased, but we can use our judgement, and be as well informed as we choose. Yes, there are probably better models, but few are willing to give up what we have.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 What's this nonsense? The " government " doesn't pay for anything, people do. What we call the government, is nothing more than a convenient place for the funds that " people " supply, to accumulate, and to be used for various purposes. The question is not, do we want the government to pay for health care; the question is do " we " want to pay for the health care (whatever it is) that we believe, we're all entitled to receive? People talk about " government " paying for things, as if it's a mysterious place in the sky, out of which we get money. It's simply " your " money. We each make a relatively small contribution, to insure that all members of your society receive life-saving medical care. It hasn't bankrupted any society; in fact, it saves money, extends the life of the people that participate in these programs, and results in less sickness overall. We provide universal approaches to all manner of things in our society, from the mail to the military. The only reason universal health care is opposed, is that a handful of rich people want to keep a system that gives them immense profits, with horrible consequences for everyone but them, and we're all fool enough to fall for their bullshit. jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
