the govt has raised these expectations that can not be realistically met....and yes, Medicare did start it...Medicare that we have all paid in for, and I'm still paying a nice chunk in every paycheck, only to find out that its just a catastrophic health care plan, period...
Tricare the same....there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. .
and now, we have extremely sick people that nobody can pay for, yet we expect it in this modern age......its going to be a nightmare as we face this, because our health and the health of our families is at stake....
so stay as healthy as you can.
Right.
We also are under an impression that, because we have advanced in technology, that we are better than our forebears in every way.
They had to take care of their health and that of their families.
We have left that to the doctors who have, at first, pretended they could do it, and then, ignored the ethical considerations while the costs have gone so skyward that we have become dependent on an unethical government for our care.
So, yeah, we have to take care of ourselves.
I went to a gym last week, wanting to continue swimming through the year. Spoke with a trainer.
They are way ahead on this. Much study being done as to proper nutrition and working out with quality of life and budget taken in to consideration.
No longer is it the snobby, I work out and you are old or fat or whatever. Now it’s I’m here to work out and enjoy my life so I can take care of business.
Our medical system thrives on sickness. It has turned far towards being a broker for pharmaceuticals, which, if they heal anyone, that’s just a non foreseen perk.
Healing is going to be up to us.
Again.
the great advances perhaps will be seen by future generations as our having been, or being brilliant, but this kind of care will be unaffordable, as should have been predicted years ago.
They could start with denial of care, as it used to be, but at the hospital.
