I've seen this too, eXe. And pretty close to home at that.
I can't tell you how sick I am of being bombarded with pharmaceutical commercials — though some of them are pretty funny in a macabre sort of way. They tick off the potential side-effects, which for certain drugs include "increased risk of stroke, or even death." Jeepers. Looks to me like the treatment could be worse than the disease....
I suspect many sheeple who are frenzied about their health are simply not reconciled to the fact of their own personal mortality. It's my sense that people of religious faith generally do not obsess as much about this matter as people of no faith. Less anxiety, better health....
The present administration is orchestrating this widespread anxiety in support of its single-payor healthcare plan. There seems no doubt about that. We are now told we have a "civil right" to healthcare. The sheeple just lap that up. What they don't realize is the single-payor system is guaranteed to lead to rationing of healthcare services, and people in the age 70 and older cohort have good reason to worry about that. The typical person wants low-cost or even "free" healthcare so they can extend their lifespans. But if the rationing board tells you, "Sorry, you're 72, so we can't approve your kidney dialysis because it would be a waste of resources [so go home and start dying]," obviously they are far less concerned than you are about extending your lifespan. To put it mildly.
It's always unwise to bargain with the devil. He seduces with pleasing words, the very words one most wants to hear — and then jams a knife in your back....
Wake up sheeple!
eXe, thank you so much for your excellent observations!
War does not cause death, it merely hastens it.
And medical treatments do not save lives, they merely delay the inevitable.
Christians understand this. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, loyalty and self-control (paraphrasing Gal 5:22).
They are not anxious and therefore, live better and usually, longer.
I’m fighting the doctor mill thing now in regards to statins.
My LDL is high according to the current numbers, but so is my HDL and my triglycerides are low.
I do NOT think that I need to be on statins considering their side effects but boy, doctors don’t like to be challenged.
“We are now told we have a “civil right” to healthcare. The sheeple just lap that up. What they don’t realize is the single-payor system is guaranteed to lead to rationing of healthcare services,..”
Actually, they don’t realize the truly evil inevidbility of government health care. The reality is that when the government is in charge of an individual’s health care, then they are immediately given control of that individual’s physical being. No longer will that individual be allowed to persue their own happiness, no longer will they be able to even enjoy liberty.
A more complete destruction of individual freedom could not be found. This is about fascism, pure and simple. The sad part is that you are correct, the sheeple are clammoring for the government to take dictatorial control of their physical being.
