You a Pohm or a Skip?
Neither bro.
I'm just sharing some info that I see has a lot of validity in it and was wondering the thoughts from everyone. And I'm glad to see these issues being discussed..
I just call it how I see it, that's all. And I work very very VERY hard at getting viewpoints from ALL spectrums and ALL directions, not just one side of things.
I enjoy discussing issues with people from not only in the U.S. but have discussions with people from outside and listen to podcasts with the people much smarter than I am discuss issues like this. Which is why I still stick to what I said about being cunts. We look like cunts.
And I certainly don't leave out myself when referring to America being that way. I can most certainly be a cunt. But I'm at peace with that because that just means I still have a lot of growing to do as a human being. And I'm happy about that. But it takes a lot of work, intense personal examination, and way more effort than most people are willing to put in to begin to actually open their eyes to what's going on in this system of America that they live in and what it takes to truly be ease with themselves so they can start making quality decisions and feel good about it. And when I see the things going on in this country, I just see so many lost people who have zero awareness or desire to be any better.
But getting back to the healthcare system, obviously there are going to be all sorts of issues as well as positive things (as there will always be with any industry such as this) but I think it comes down to two things. If you could tackle these things, everything changes.
Mental health and behavioural change education
They fail on every front.
My girl is a nurse on a general medicine floor for a hospital. Some of the things she has told me is just astounding how the system fails so many people on a regular basis. She is so passionate about it now after seeing it all that she's becoming a NP and eventually opening her own practice.
So the health care system fails completely at helping individuals cope with the core issue (mental health), you don't have good education to help people begin to wake up to their ways/bad habits or how to slowly begin to make the tiniest slightest positive changes to start regularly making better choices. And this is obviously partly due to big pharma not wanting the core issue solved, they want you on pills. But instead of any sort of society moving towards making better decisions, we have all these phone distracted,completely unaware, fat, lazy, get whatever you can for free while doing the least amount of work type minded Americans using this system.
OF COURSE we're gonna make a good run at being last in a system like that.
And yeah, we look like cunts.
