The Destruction of American Health Care

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

In the US medical boards are in many respects agents of Big Pharma.  They serve to punish doctors who don’t abide by Big Pharma’s money-grubbing protocols.

The Ohio Medical Board is a good example. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny testified in June 2021 to the Ohio House of Representatives Health Committee about the dangers of the so-called “Covid vaccines.”  Her testimony was based on published studies in medical journals.  Her testimony was at a time when the full press was on to have the entire population injected with an experimental dose of no one knew what.  Big Pharma and American medicine that it controls didn’t want anyone  getting in the way of huge profits and whatever other agendas were at work.  Big Pharma orchestrated a number of complaints to be made about Dr. Tenpenny.  The Ohio Medical Board responded to its master’s call.

The vaccinators were unhappy when 2 years and 2 months ago Dr. Tenpenny said that the so-called “vaccine” was causing heart inflammation.  Her statement, controversial at the time, is now accepted as true.  But the Ohio Medical Board is nevertheless punishing her for being correct.  By telling the truth, the Ohio Medical Board thinks Dr. Tenpenny violated the State’s Medical Practices Act. Big Pharma’s Ohio Medical Board has suspended Dr. Tenpenny’s medical license.

This is how corrupt medicine is today in the United States. Over the course of my life I have watched the collapse of medical practice in the US.  Doctors were in private practice. You had a personal relationship with them.  They knew how to diagnose.  Poor people weren’t charged.  The doctors added a little to rich people’s bills.  The doctor was focused on your health, not his pocketbook.

Today medical schools teach doctors, who are increasingly corporate employees thanks to Obamacare and other legislation designed to destroy private practice, to type the patients reported symptoms into his laptop and prescribe the drugs that Big Pharma recommends.  This kind of medicine can be automated.

In the US doctors have become employees.  They cannot use their judgment but must follow protocols.  Doctors who rejected the death-dealing Covid protocols and saved patients’ lives with Ivermectin and HCQ were fired.  If they were in private practice, they were hauled before corrupt medical boards whose pockets were lined by Big Pharma.

Cat scans, MRIs, and blood analysis are wonderful tests for diagnostics, but technology aside medical practice in the US is failing fast.  With the rapid expansion of corporate medicine doctors are being turned into profit centers.  Their job is to hand the patient a Big Pharma prescription and rush to the next patient.

One way that Big Pharma, using its political campaign contributions, is closing down private medical practice is by getting Congress to pass legislation that results in corporate billings to insurance companies and Medicare being paid a larger percentage of the billed amount than private practices.  The consequence has been the sale of private practices and their incorporation into corporate medicine.

What this means is that “our representatives” in Congress are not our representatives.  They are Big Pharma’s representatives and representatives for others who finance their election campaigns.  Big Pharma’s representatives have centralized our health care and turned it against us by turning health care into just another monetized commodity.

There are Drs. still in practice, who keep a lower profile and who don’t write a Rx to treat a symptom. Typically, they lean towards holistic treatment and quality nutritional food based supplements after looking at deficiencies. (Causes).

PCR’s general theme is true in this post.
It’s a sick care industry, driven by corporate profits and insurance rackets. Follow the money again.

A ballsy tactic is foregoing monthly insurance premiums and pay out of pocket as needed.
But the only candidates would be those generally in good health who put effort in to maintain it.
And if a major operation is the only solution, then the costs are obscene.
Some medical treatment requirements are not always due to neglect.

Multiple tests are ordered by Dr’s. covering their ass to prevent misdiagnosis, and maltreatment that could result in devastating litigation by ambulance chaser lawyers, another money grab aspect.

As for preventative practices, PCPs and the system push colonoscopy exams.

Polling question:
If there’s no familial history of colon cancer, would readers personally endure that recommended inspection at ages, 50, 60, & 70?

State reasons for your stance & opinion, if adding an experience or opinion.
The scarcity of quality, nutritional, and beneficial food ingested is a factor, sure.
Got roughage?
Suggestions welcome.
-Discuss.

Recently went to a urologist for a kidney stone, passed it before appointment, but went regardless.

He skipped over the other kidney stone and UTI and went straight for the prostate cancer, chaching.

I did the blood work and they emailed me the results, normal.

I’ve haven’t been to a doctor in years, especially after COVID nonsense.

The result of care confirms that it’s a fucking scam of biblical proportions.

Uninsured for three years, I will never go to a hospital or emergency room ever.

Went to Quest labs for blood work, website says $69, get there and uninsured $176. I didn’t have enough cash. I went back the next day with cash and nurse said that was outrageous for a prostate test. She called another lab and got it for $41. I told her to have a blessed day.

Some doctor published a secondary review article that concluded there is generally more risk from a colonoscopy itself than is warranted for the diagnostic purpose. In other words, colonoscopy’s can and do cause disease and injury.

>>>And if a major operation is the only solution, then the costs are obscene.

Even minor procedures are billed at obscene levels.

I had a recent session where a cocktail of pain-killers and anti-inflammatory meds was injected near my lumbar spine; the Medicare ‘allowable’ charge was about $1200; the clinic’s standard ‘list price’ exceeded $12,000.

The clinic is, of course, making money with the $1200 payment; the $12,000 price is basically just to give the finger to the uninsured, and maintain the financial teeth in their extortion racket.

FWIW, I’m a retired US MD, and just about all the critiques offered here by others are accurate.

As a surgeon who retired before the covid/jab genocide scam was rolled out, I remain proudly pureblood, disgusted and ashamed of my former colleagues who meekly, but willingly, supported this evil, and livid that those responsible will likely never face any consequences.

I literally had a doctor whom I was a patient of for 20 years, after my original doc retired, who said I was not a good patient because I hadn’t been in for over five years. I told her to go F**K herself and she wouldn’t see me ever again. Ima baaaad patient because I shook off the narcotics they had me on for pain, and I no longer made monthly visits to renew scripts.

oh, and I wasn’t allowed into the building, after the restrictions were relaxed, and she wore a mask OUTSIDE, in the hot sun, the whole time she beaked at me. I actually took a measure of pleasure telling her to go pound sand.

The sneaky asswipes at the canadian medical association have changed their obit webpage. The last time I looked there were over 80 doctors dead and most were young, 40’s – 50’s, dying suddenly. Probably half were marathon runners, bicycle enthusiasts etc, all dying of unknown causes. weird.

Now, there are three pages of 2022 doctors and most are old. I’m willing to bet money these asswipes are only posting the old toddies to not show the criminality of the jab. But, I bet that these old doctors got the jab too and hence the 3 pages of deaths that were never a thing in the past. And they don’t give access to obit pages prior to 2022, another oddity.

PCR basically nails it here, but he forgot to mention that our healthcare is 5 times more expensive than necessary due to collusion, insurance and general dishonesty,

Corruption, regulatory agency capture and malfeasance are endemic in the United States government. The American Empire in general and American society in particular are in rapid moral decline and collapse. Medicaid and Medicare Fraud are rife and it is the American taxpayers who suffer.

The Facts about Medicaid Fraud

(And these are old figures). The media is mind control and perception management aka programming on behalf of the ruling oligarchs.
John D. Rockefeller’s plan to monopolize the bourgeoning pharmaceutical industry which at that time was based mostly on petroleum products and create a pharmaceutically based “medical education” system (he helped create the AMA) have worked beyond his wildest dreams. Today new generations of “philanthro-capitalists” like Bill Gates and George Soros are carrying Rockefeller’s monopoly business model as well as his eugenics campaign to new depths of depravity and degradation.
We live in a Kakistocracy a nation ruled by the most immoral, depraved and least honest members of society, in fact this system recruits and promotes psychopaths and sociopaths to do its bidding.

When the ACA passed I interpreted that to mean my health is 100% on me.

They are going to keep shifting the requirements for Gov bennies until a drain clogging shot is required to get your SS check. And another to cash it.

The mission creep of uS goal posts is world famous.
