Health Crisis Hits Home

In the March 16th issue of Time magazine, I read a story titled, "The Health Care Crisis Hits Home" and it made me wonder why we as Americans put up with a government and a system that doesn't work.
Politics aside, the article talked about how we can think we're paying for health insurance but when we submit the claims, the insurance companies deny the coverage. So it made me wonder, why do we sink so much money into insurance only to find we're not covered anyway? We all need catastrophic insurance for those unexpected times we find ourselves in the emergency room. But why do we have coverage for the basics like doctor visits and prescriptions when neither of them work for our benefit and in the case of prescription drugs, harm us more than they help. Remember, prescription drugs deal with the symptoms not the causes. So we are never cured or healed, that's why you generally have to take them forever. Herbs on the other hand work on the causes, the root problems. Once those root problems are gone, you don't need the herbs anymore.
Listen to what the article says, quoting, "Our system pays doctors to diagnose, test and treat - not necessarily keep people healthy. It's why chronic diseases like diabetes absorb 80% of our health care dollars. Pay for holistic success." Exactly I say. Why pour money into basic insurance that won't cure you when for less money you can take herbs and get well?
I leave you with a quote from an ad about the allergy drug Singulair on the back of the Time magazine. Under important safety information, it says, quoting, "Side effects are generally mild and vary by age, and may include headache, ear infection, sore throat, and upper respiratory infection. Side effects generally did not stop patients from taking Singulair."
Why on earth would you risk any of that and would you continue to take it, as it suggests, even if you had those side effects?
