As anyone who has read anything I have written knows, I am doing this for my dear sweet Michael Jackson XO XO. So I went to the gym not to long ago and met a man who thought I might want to defer from my mad love! I never will, but I figured I would talk to him anyway, to simply talk. I found out that he was a med student, we started talking about modern medicine, he brought up some points which enforced my own, so I asked him to wright me a letter saying what he was telling me...here is the letter, by the way his name has been changed to protect his privacy.
Dear Vicky,
As we spoke about earlier, the health care system is, unfortunately, very corrupt. There were a few people in Chicago that I knew who went to medical school (with me), as well as some of them who knew people, who felt that the medicine they were learning or practicing was not suppose to help people. As they continued to practice and learn about the policies and procedures reguarding the health care system, either they droped out or after finishing decided to work alone. Many felt that it was thier moral obligation to actually solve peoples health problems instead of using them as a sourse of income, therefore they feared having to work for a hospital ony takes advantage of thier patients.
Umong the most techologically advanced countries in the world, the USA is the only one that doesn't provide a government medical care system for it's citizens. Americans generally pay at least 40%of thier income in taxes and fees; however countries that charge thier citizens less have a far more effective health care system.
There is a rumor that there is a cure for cancer in Europe, but not in the USA. This is strictly because of the average sick person spending almost $3,000 per year on keeping themselves treated for symotoms that could most probably be cured for less than half that amount.
American health has been put on a credit card with high intrest and many of those Americans are making only minimum payments on it. Unfortunately, we need a bold reform and removing the concept of making money on sick families.
