The so-called healthcare system has become the primary way by which “the owners” suck money out of the economy, and serious reform may be the only way we could possibly stave off financial disaster. I pay homage to Gore Vidal and his repeated statements that America never stopped being a plantation economy and that the owners are in evidence everywhere, if you watch.

The trends are clear; we continue to lead the world in per capita healthcare spending, but in terms of results, we are at near third-world levels, typically at about 35th place or lower in the worldwide rankings. The pharmacy is the modern commissary, which sucks wealth out of a population that thinks they have no other option. During the Covid-episode, we have knocked three years off the average life expectancy, and that trend is likely to become worse before it gets better. The numbers were about $11.617 per capita in 2019 ($3.8tn), $12,460 per capita in 2020 ($4.1tn), and $12,991 per capita in 2021 ($4.3tn). Given the rising cost of vaccine injury and the rapid growth of disability, healthcare inflation promises to be significant.

The best go-to source for understanding the historical roots of this quagmire of spiraling healthcare inflation in which we find ourselves is probably the classic book Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America, by E. Richard Brown. And if you want the video version, the Corbett Report on Rockefeller Medicine should do quite nicely.

Realistically, change will not be easy to accomplish, but it could be possible if it is done on a voluntary basis, though financial incentives could be helpful and could occur more or less naturally. Within the existing medical system, it is hard to see how change takes place. Outside the system, it is not easy to see how it comes together, but numerous initiatives are underway.

One of them is called Freedom Healthcare, which is conceived as a religious organization, in order to guarantee independence, and the safeguarding of patient’s rights, including informed consent, while simultaneously widening the aperture of available therapies and treatments. I am associated with this organization personally, as I find their approach has a lot of potentials. The existing system is beyond salvage, even more so since the corona experience, another waste of trillions of dollars on a non-problem. Especially since we now understand that not only is there a practical confusion over the difference between public health and population medicine, it is clear that with the effective militarization of population health, this infiltration is deliberate, and totalitarian in nature.

The Potential Savings

> Lifestyle Medicine and Whole Foods, Plant-Based nutrition are the well-documented foundation, which already points to the fact that some 82% of healthcare dollars are potentially wasted for they relate to medical treatments for chronic diseases that can mostly be reversed with Lifestyle Medicine, including Whole Foods, Plant-Based nutrition (see a.o. Dean Ornish, MD, UndoIt!). There is even a Journal, the International Journal of Disease Prevention and Renewal.

> Note, by the way, that the above almost completely stops all “blockbuster” drugs in their tracks, as all of those are typically the ones where the doctor tells you: “You’ll have to take this medicine for the rest of your life.” All so-called blockbuster drugs are based on the pretense that there is no treatment for a condition, such as, e.g., Type 2 Diabetes (98% reversible with Lifestyle Medicine), and by giving you drugs now, you can keep ignoring the condition, and incur much more expensive medical interventions later in life, typically when you are least able to afford it – hence the high number of medical bankruptcies.

> Halt all childhood vaccinations. Watch the interview of Paul Thomas, MD, with Robert Yoho. In other words, vaccinations also, just like the blockbuster drugs above, create a false impression that the situation is under control. What they do instead, is handicap your immune system, so it becomes less effective, therefore resulting in more medical interventions later on. The story of Paul Thomas’ waiting room is a case in point. He had two waiting rooms, one for sick kids, with symptoms, and another for healthy kids. After a few years, by allowing more and more unvaccinated kids in his practice, he ran out of space for the healthy kids, while the waiting room for sick kids was nearly empty.

> Focus on only unvaccinated clients, while charging vaccinated patients more, as they will need more medical interventions.

We could go on for a while, but the above are probably the main features. Now let’s do the preliminary math. Assume that by the time we have eliminated the above issues, we have probably eliminated about 90% of healthcare spending, but I am assuming that the transition will still require the guidance of a healthcare provider, just not one who works with the AMA, CDC, FDA, etc. the military-industrial complex.

We need healthcare providers that are responsive to patients, and I have always advocated for that first tier of Primary Care so-called to be purely a non-GMO version of Lifestyle Medicine, and a Mutual Society owned by the members, which then uses existing insurance only has reinsurance. As these systems accumulate actuarial data, there should be less and less need for insurance, and deductibles could be negotiated down. The original medical system now would deal mostly only with acute care, and some exceptional conditions that require it. Healthcare providers should be offered a retraining opportunity to transition to the new system, for there are many of them who are so inclined.

With growing actuarial data, patients are now becoming educated to take responsibility for their own health, and professional guidance where needed. The primary care mutual society should include gym membership, alongside nutrition coaching.

A mutual society, as proposed, should focus on providing good information, and not to succumb to a profit motive. There’s more money to advertise Cheerios, which are disastrous to your health, than there is to advertise broccoli. This is the territory Dr. Michael Greger operates in with his Nutritionfacts.org organization. Also, on a not-for-profit basis, the transition to a Whole Foods, Plant-Based nutrition is made an easy operation with the help of the 4 Leaf Survey, which is a self-inventory that rates your food habits in an understandable way, so you can adjust. You can use it in either a daily format or a monthly format.

Back-of-the-envelope economics of healthcare reform

> Year 1: Based on the above, if we take 90% of the $4.3 trillion for 2021, that is about $3.87 trillion, so the remaining hard-core healthcare cost is only $430 billion. We assume, however, that we are spending the rest on transitional services. Most disease reversals can happen in the framework of 3 weeks to 3 months, and it has to be operated on a voluntary basis. Everything here rests on the enthusiastic participation of the patient.

> Year 2 and following: Assume whatever you want for the rate of inflation; we are now taking out a lot of the drivers of medical inflation, which has been running ahead, because their medical interventions are themselves inflationary. Ergo, while you are transitioning, you should be able to reduce overall healthcare spending by 5% per year. It will start slow, but undoubtedly it will accelerate, as people appreciate that aunt Suzie has lower healthcare costs because she is in the alternative program.

> In Year 10, we can tentatively assume that you are saving 50% of the 90%, or 45%, keeping the numbers constant, so you end up with a healthcare cost of $2.365 trillion, or a savings over the original situation of $1.935 trillion per year.

Conceptually, this is in the cards. You just start over in parallel. You can use Lifestyle Medicine credentialed practitioners, but you will need to provide them with some training on how to deal with patients and forget their AMA conditioning. It’s time to give it a try.
