Obamacare is a disaster, but there is a larger disaster in our healthcare system. I have not checked the figure in a long time, but I am pretty sure we spend less than 5% of our healthcare dollars on preventative medicine.

Step back and think about it....

There are so many diseases, ailments, chronic conditions, etc, that could be prevented or mitigated simply by making sure a person has sufficient levels of iron or vitamins or minerals, etc etc.

Real prevention. Longer and healthier lives and less drastic need for major healthcare intervention.

There is no money in making you “well”. The money is in treating you when you are not well with pharmaceuticals or surgery or therapy. The whole system is oriented towards treating you when your body runs off the road instead of helping you stay on the road (health). It pays better.
