This post, like most of our culture, misses the point, misses the point that RFK and a small minority have been preaching for years.
We don’t focus on good diet, good exercise...prevention.
We focus on remedies after we get sick. The #1 cost of Medicaid is preventable: Tobacco, alcohol, drugs, excess sugar, food additives in food found in the Quickie Mart.
Consider: One high cost of Medicaid is Newborn and new mom care. The highest cost of Newborns is being born with the drug addiction of the mom. A highest cost of the mom is preclampsia, which by thesis of Emory U PHD is due to the culture of addicting babies to sugary drinks and those babies grow up still addicted to sugary drinks when they get pregnant and have babies.
A second high cost is doctor’s inducing labor on Friday ... Or chemically delaying delivery til Monday ...so they don’t have to work weekends.
Our society used to have a phrase: Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Now the phrase seems to be: take no thought for the morrow...eat, drink, be merry.
Most doctors don’t even talk about proper diet and natural healing remedies and practices. There’s no money in that.
