Ideas on How to Un-break Medicine

First, break the symbiotic connection between greedy, parasitic pharmaceutical companies and their hosts--which comprises the entire "medical" community.
Second, all legislators who vote on the bill should be mandated to put their names at the top of the list of recipients for the services provided by the bill. The doctors should all have to sign up for it, as well.
I recently heard the "sales pitch" from a nurse practitioner for a new vaccine being given to young girls. When I asked the obvious question, "Did you have the vaccine yourself?" she waffled. She's a young woman in the right age-group. If she didn't do it, why would I submit my young daughter to it.
I say, if our representatives are making this decision for us that will impact us for years to come whether we vote for them next time or not, they should submit themselves to the program they are signing us all into.
Truly unburdening the population of their medical nightmares would be a much harder task for the governmental powers. Curb spending, cap ridiculous costs, encourage wellness and prevention, cut out pharmaceutical usury.
Why should a simple chest x-ray cost $4,000? It's funny how in every other area of technology, things get smaller, more efficient and less expensive, but the x-ray machine was invented in 1895 and it was free light passing through the body. Then the medical community got hold of it.
There was a time when people entered into the healing arts because they were gifted and they gave their gift to their community as an offering for the gift. The idea of holding it out to select members of the community who are deserving of it only evolved in the modern world.
Here is my prediction. God will raise up people with the gift of healing in every community and they will serve their communities without pharmaceuticals, focusing on the mind-body-spirit connections that bring illness, and the whole medical monster will collapse for lack of interest, as it should.
Before any decisions are made in Congress, the Dr. Seuss story, "Yertle the Turtle" should be read slowly out loud.
