Grouping Illnesses: Natural, or Pharmaceutically origin?

This quote is just some of the evidence that we need to change the way we do medicine and health care in Canada:

"The Journal of the American Medical Association recently reported that as many as 106,000 deaths occur annually in US hospitals due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs that are properly prescribed by physicians that use them as directed by the drug companies.
"Even worse, the National Council for Patient Information and Education reported that an additional 125,000 deaths occur annually due to adverse reactions to drugs that the physician never should have prescribed."

How about re-grouping all diseases in some new way, to focus treatment and especially to focus the effort to avoid diseases and cure these illnesses and epidemics.

Ok:

Group One>>> the diseases arising from pharmacueticals, which would include those 300, 000 that died from bad pills or badly prescribed pills[as per quote above].

Group Two >>>>> natural illnesses and trauma [e.m., accidents] -incl. those that come from well known traditional viri and bacteria. Note - these are pretty well controlled now, we would all be living with nearly perfect health if there was not the pharmacueitcally-created illness, and the accidental traumas.

Group Three - ? There is no other health threats, its all created and on purpose. Feel free to fill in Group Three - suggestions? Anything I missed?


That quote is just some of the evidence that we need to change the way we do medicine and health care in Canada. The waste of money is the other.

Private medicine? - NO!! Canadians spend a certain amount of money on health care each year, and when it goes to employees the govt. hires[incl. doctors] then workers get the money and costs are based on that expense. When corporations run the show, THEY and their elite management gets the money, its really very simple. The difference is that money for treatment is going to wealthy corporations and not health care. All other arguements are just about shuffling the money around.

Where there is government organised health care, like Canada's medicare,we have a degree of control over the corporate agenda in medicine. We don't use it, but it is there if we elected the right leaders. America has left it up to the vultures totaly, good luck with that!!

Canada has the opportunity, before we turn it over to corporations, to review how health care is delivered, other than money-wise. HOW each disease is treated, from start to cure, emphasising aoidance and curees, not symptoms treatment. WHY IS THIS DIFFICIULT TO UNDERSTAND? - TREATING SYMPTOMS MEANS REPEAT BUSINESS [and repeat ongoing suffering and disability],. WE HAVE TO START CURING THESE DISEASES.

I demand: A law that says no more than 10% of health care spending can go to treatment, the bulk has to be going to cures or avoidance.

In Canada, or America, where ever, it is OUR money paying for health care and the good livinbgs people make from it. WE need to assert our right to determine how it is spent. We do not need more research into pills for treating sym,ptoms. It IS SO our money - where do you think it comes from?
Taxes in Canada, or directly from the patients [victims], it is OUR money and nobody has the right to hold up a piece of paper and say "this means I know a lot more than you do, so I get to say how your money is spent". Thats BS. Theft. And judging by the results, it is a criminally dangerous practise.
