Medication & Healthcare. . . A Political Dosage by NegroNtns(m): 6:53pm On Jan 21, 2010
In America, from the time you get up in the morning, till you go to sleep at night and wake back up the next day, all the in-between moments and aspects of living, sleeping and waking has prescription medicines designed to fill the gaps for you.

When you rise from bed there is a medicine to knock the drowsiness out and keep you alert. At bed time if you are too wound up and can't fall asleep there's a medicine for that. There's a time capsule designed to give your slumbering organs a kick start and bring you out of slumber so you don't oversleep. If you feel that's too much management, then there's a one pill wth three coatings, the one pill takes of sleep, wake and alert. The pharmaceutical companies want to look out for your well being and good health so instead of swallowing three tablets you take just one.

Inbetween, if you are a very energetic and hyperactive person then you suffer from an abnormal behavioral pattern and there is a medicine to calm you down. If you are withdrawn and laid back, you have an abnormal behavioral pattern and a medicine can correct that. If you blink too rapidly or you rock your legs while in a stationary sitting position, or you belch more than three times in an hour, or you fart often, or you pee more than two times within a 60minute window, or you have a heartburn, or you don't laugh to a funny humour, or you raise the tone of your voice in a hgh decibel, or you have too much sex, or you don't have enough sex. . . . . .and so on and so forth! In America all these are abnormal behavioral pattern and are symptoms of a health problem or condition.

This list is not including ailments like headache, toothache, arthritis, chronic respiratory and allergic pains, highblood pressure, diabetes, cancer. . .etc.

In this society, anything classified as health problem or condiition must be attended to by one of a doctor, a therapist, a psychologist or a social behavioral counselor. Sometimes a patient will need two or more of these people. Anyone attended to by these specialists is definite to get a prescription. Everytime a prescription is written a pharmacist must fill the order.

I'm going to pause here and let this soak in. The question we ought to ask is not why Healthcare bill should pass or fail but why the medical profession has hijacked from the ordinary citizen their individual right to liberty and life and how the Government is aiding that effort to make it illegal to be healthy and problem free! Health choice and decisions should be individual, no one shuld be compelled to choose between having a healthcare insurance or going to jail.

The second part of this will come late. Enjoy the read!

Thank you! In that case we should be talking about Wellcare, not Healthcare.

As part of Wellcare, we should change building codes. . .make it optional for occupant buildings to open windows for fresh air circylation. Stale air and particularly reconditioned air is injurious to the lungs and wellbeing.

Wellcare, not Helathcare!

Sometimes these drugs don't just come in capsules and tablets and liquigels and IVs, they're also in form of burgers, burritos, mega-sega sized coffee cups (that can feed 10 people) etc  . . .  I think it was Chris Rock joking once that they must put crack in Macdonalds burgers cos you can't help but go back.

  I believe it is a conspiracy pushed by drug companies to get as many as possible medicated, living pseudo lives - all aimed at getting more of the contents of their pockets. That rate at which medications are dished out these days is flat out scary. Even criminals are not guilty anymore, it was a hormonal or chemical imbalance that caused them to commit their crimes. It was the pill they took that did it.

Dang JeSoul!!

You took a 10hr documentary series and cut it into a 1hr 30mins narrative.

Allright, so is it then possible that by regulating the food supply chain as well as modifying few environmental requirements we might bring down the cost of healthcare?

How much injury is done to the respiratory system just by the single factor that we all spend too much time in reconditioned air space breathing stale and contaminated air which with time is further depleted of any residual richness as it passes from one diseased lung to another in the enclosure?
