You know I have begun to think that revenue, as in all things, is what the medical system is based on. Someone who can't pay, simply isn't treated. Sadly, this is the world we live in.

@Selfexpression and it only becomes less affordable. there are cures for everything. They are just hard to find.

@Selfexpression So who should pay? The doctor? The nurse? The hospital? The tax payer? The person who is sick? If there is a service rendered someone always pays.

@hippyjoe1955 I suggest single payer system with three parties splitting the bill, govt 1/3, individual 1/3, and employer 1/3 with those not employed contributing service when possible. hen creating the funding mechanism of covering all healthcare and related building in green energy to reduce cost as much as possible; all revenue paying the bills.

@jehova Which eliminates any choice you have in your care. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Here in Canada we have a single payer system with no choice except go to the US for alternate treatment. If you are on the list you stay on the list sometimes for years before your medical needs are met. If you don't die first. Yes Canadians are dying on waiting lists. A young woman was diagnosed with bone cancer. She was put on the list and a year later she was dead. She was never treated. Her diagnosis was that a wait was not fatal for her. The diagnosis was wrong and she paid for it with her life.

@hippyjoe1955 Well damn if they had implemented [u]The Dr. Sebi Nutritional Guide[/u] she'd be alive and well.

or the bryzinski diet, but instead the research is never done in the name of profit, or it gets done and the researchers killed. We need to get the information to Canada/the rest of the world so we can end this. Fuck!
