Facts about Health Care in the United States^[2]
Each year:

• Sloppy handwriting causes 7,000 patient deaths
• Preventable medication mistakes hurt 1,500,00 patients
• 7,500,000 unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed
• Over 106,000 people die from adverse drug reactions - what we call side-effects, the military calls “collateral damage”
• 94% of these adverse drug reactions are incorrectly diagnosed
• Most side effects are mistaken for new disease symptoms, leading to further drugging and unnecessary medical procedures which increase the likelihood of death
• Most of these deaths are from expected adverse reactions because they are an extension of the drug's actions
• The mortality rate of people between the ages of 45 and 65, who took their prescription drugs as directed, rose 90% in a 5-year period.
• As of 2001, Pfizer was the number one most profitable company of all the Fortune 500 companies.
• Pfizer's profit in 2001 was US$7,800,000,000 (7.8 billion) - more than the profits of ALL Fortune 500 companies in the homebuilding, clothing, railroad and publishing industries combined.
• Modern medicine is no longer concerned with health.
• It has become a for-profit disease industry whose profits require that millions of people become sick and stay that way
• It is an industry that refuses to recognize vitally important health facts such as how stress weakens our immune system
• How processed foods, alcohol, excessive calories and insufficient exercise encourage disease
• How the increasing toxic burden of tens of thousands of unnatural chemicals in our environment - air supply, water supply, food supply are directly and undeniably linked to the modern diseases which are epidemic in our society
• You are told to stay out of the sun yet each year more than 50,000 people die from cancer because they didn't get sufficient sun exposure
• Why is this situation continuing? Why is no-one telling you the truth? As the journalists used to say - “Follow the Money”
• More than half of the population of the United States have received unnecessary medical treatment
• That is about 50,000 people every day
• Around 42% have been directly affected (often maimed) by a medical mistake, from a procedure or a drug.
• 84% of the population know someone personally who is a victim of a medical mistake or error.
• The consequences of these medical mistakes and errors is the equivalent of six fully-loaded jumbo jets crashing with loss of all life - each and every day
• The difference, the only difference, is in the media coverage - there is no public mention of the tragedy, grief and anguish unnecessarily caused by modern medicine
• The error rate in intensive care units alone is like the US Post Office losing more than 16,000 pieces of mail every hour of every day.
• Or as if banks deducted cheques from the wrong accounts 32,000 times an hour, every hour of every day of every year.
• The American medical system is the Number One Killer in the United States.
• In 10 years it has killed around 8,000,000 people - more deaths than all the americans killed in all the conflicts in all of history.
• In 2006 the american health care spending reached US$2,000,000,000,000 (2 trillion)
• Free market economics tells us this should achieve the best medical system in the world - unparalleled in disease prevention and remediation with minimal harm or damage
• Instead it is worse than that of many third-world countries
• There are more factors which encourage this slaughter:
• Deceptive marketing has encouraged people into spending 90% of the food budget on highly processed, additive-loaded, unhealthy foodstuffs.
• Sugar in soft drinks is the major source of calories in the US, causing 1 in 3 Americans to develop diabetes (or pre-diabetes), and 2 in 3 Americans to become overweight, half of these are obese.
• How many more people will be killed before you choose to take control of your health care?
• Toxic, synthetic medicines will not ever reverse poor health which is a result of poor food choices
• Consider - what possible benefits could outweigh a statistically-proven risk of unintentional death as the side-effect of most medical drugs?
• Are you interested enough in your own health and wellbeing to make the effort to care for you health
• Or would you rather modern medicine did it for you and you pay them astronomically for their products and services?
• It is your life, it is your choice - the consequences are permanent and life-or-death.
