Quote:hailto, you seem to be describing financial or social systems instead of medical systems.  As if solving the problems of access and payment will solve the underlying medical issues.  Current allopathic medicine is focused on the treatment of SYMPTOMS, not CAUSES.  We treat symptoms with synthetic meds that are not found in nature.  These are not accepted by the body and result in side effects.  The original symptom may be successfully masked but never cured.  Meanwhile the side effects can be more problematic than the original malady.

 

Um.... the United States is undeniably a leader when it comes to QUALITY of health care. It's also a leader in ACCESSIBILITY of heath care. The problem with our system in making the high quality of care AFFORDABLE. So yes, my focus is on financial and social aspects of health care because only someone uninformed could consider the U.S. to be lagging in quality of care.
