Health Care

What two of the USA's founding fathers had to say about health care:



"If the people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny".

- Thomas Jefferson





"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship.

To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a republic. The Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."

- Benjamin Rush, M.D.
George Washington's personal physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence.

They must have been clairvoyant!! Truer words were never spoken.

Please read the quote below (from Business Week, 2006). I would agree with you guys about medical freedom as well as religious freedom. But what you seem to miss (as well as most people who don't want universal health care) is that the "special freedom" Jefferson and Benjamin Bush were referring to is EXACTLY what we have: OUR GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN SPECIAL FREEDOM TO CHARGE WHATEVER WE (corporations) WANT FOR FOOD AND MEDICINE. KKR, HCA, IMF,HAVE SAME (or former) people on the Board of Directors, and are equal to Chevron, Halliburton and Exxon as the wealthiest investor groups second to none. Energy, Defense, Pharmaceuticals and food corps (Beatrice, Carlyle, Archer-Daniels, Kraft and General Motors are all bedfellows, right there at the top. When medicine and food become a non-profit business (instead of the MOST profitable of all other corps combined) in this country, then I might agree with you. Sorry, on this one. If we don't cap a limit on the profit one can make from food and medicine, if we DON'T STOP SPECIAL PRIVILEGES (usury fraud for you and I) ON THESE ROBBER BARONS, we will continue to get sicker and sicker.......

Quote :

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, one of the world’s biggest private equity firms, forked out $837.5 million (£430 million) in advisory fees to investment banks last year, data released yesterday shows.

The New York firm easily beat rivals in the US, where it paid out $569 million worth of fees on such deals as the $33 billion buyout of Tennessee-based hospital chain HCA, the second biggest buyout ever. (HOW IS IT WE NEVER HEARD OF A LONG_TERM CARE MANAGEMENT HOSPITAL CHAIN FROM TENNESSEE BECOME THE BIGGEST US BUYOUT EVER???????)

BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT US TO KNOW!!!!!! I had to look through internet sources for over two hours on google US before I found the article. On Google UK it came up in less than a minute. Its seems LTCM which in England is called Long Term Care Management, somehow investors slipped in Long Term Capital Management with the same inits.......so the average person will miss the connection. (In 2006, the Director of Long-term Care was the former director of IMF, International Monetary Fund, and so on, to the point of PUKE!!!! Sorry, folks. Can't agree on this one. Our government MUST stop soaring profits on food and medicine, same as oil. They are all, as I say bedfellows, incestuously fleecing all of us out of what SHOULD be a natural in a REAL democracy. Food, water and medicine should NEVER have been a profit-making endeavor. You pay the scientists, the doctors, the nurses, pharmacists and laborers (those who produce the pharmaceuticals and the food (farmers) well, BUT NOT THEIR INVESTORS RUNNING AMOK (all the way to their private banks while people are starving and dying)!!!!!!

Awesome quotes, Spring.

(Thank you WD for all the info on the other thread)

Wild Dove, inreality THERE IS NO SICKNESS. If this country wants to do something about high priced health care then its needs to take responsibility for its health and stop giving the power to the doctors etc. WE ALL have the ability to heal ourselves of ANYTHING. People need to learn to develop this ability in themselves, soon with the higher vibrations coming in, I believe this will be commonplace.
