As noted in the first article of this series, health care reform is clearly needed in America. To look to big government to provide this reform is like asking the fox to guard the chicken house. As usual, government presents itself as the cultural balm to heal all wounds. In reality it has become the cultural bomb to wound all heels. The “heels” of course are all those who desire to employ the power of government to give them something for which they are too lazy to work.

The U.S. Constitution provides no authorization for the health care reform legislation enacted by the Federal government by devious means in the Spring of 2010. Nor does the Bible grant such coercive power to the civil magistrate. This law represents government abuse of power in a direct attack on the freedom of the individual.

The Crux Of Socialized Medicine

Let’s pause for a moment to elaborate on that point. The little classic by Frederic Bastiat, entitled “The Law” makes the point crystal clear. Bastiat notes first that the purpose of civil government is to administer justice by enforcing the law. Its function is to prevent citizens from violating the life, liberty or property of their neighbors.

As a nation drifts toward socialism the law is more and more twisted for the purpose of unjustly extracting money from one social class to give to another. “Health care is a right, not a privilege,” according to Barack Obama. The satisfaction of this “right” then justifies the legalized theft of property.

“The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder…The law has been perverted by the influence of two entirely different causes: stupid greed and false philanthropy.” -Frederic Bastiat

Government funded health care is a prime example of such legalized plunder, although the government may have a role in enforcing public health regulations. But when it comes to providing health care itself, the assumption is that no other societal institution can handle the task, least of all the church. God will surely judge a government that thereby perverts its fundamental responsibility to administer justice in His stead.

The Cost of Socialized Medicine

Any flaws in the private health care system will be exploited by a government seeking to expand its power beyond the requirements of simple justice. The “cure” is always worse than the disease when government gets involved, as seen in the outcomes of ObamaCare below:

* It will cost more than a trillion dollars

* Health care will be rationed with life-threatening wait times

* “End of life” counseling will result in more assisted suicide

* Abortions will be paid for with taxpayers’ money

* The door is left open for participation of illegal aliens

* An already shaky medical system will be pushed to the brink of insolvency

Perhaps the most damaging aspect of government run health care is that it inhibits the development of cutting edge breakthroughs in medical science. These include therapies that have proven themselves effective for years overseas as well as discoveries within the United States.

This is in effect an attack on freedom of choice because it artificially restricts the number of choices available. Very often these are life and death decisions. If a technique falls outside the prevailing paradigm it is almost automatically rejected.

Medicine, as a branch of science, is subject to the same prejudice that has hobbled science for centuries. Great paradigm shifts are required to at long last abandon outmoded theory that clings like a barnacle. We saw it in the Copernican Revolution, the Newtonian Revolution, and most recently in the Quantum Revolution. The latter has been accepted in theory. But there is still great resistance to medical application of the Human Body Field (HBF) – that field of quantum energy underlying the biochemistry of the body.

The bio energy field and alkaline water represent two of the most dramatic recent developments in bio-chemical research. Oliver Woods is a life extension consultant focusing on these two therapies. Both have received the enthusiastic endorsement of many who have experienced a renewed sense of well-being. For more information dial 218-862-1300 (PIN=886161) at noon or 6pm (PST).

Some have likened the skills of modern medicine to those of the “body & fender” auto-mechanic. They are pretty good at patching up a damaged exterior and making it look good, but are limited in their ability to deal effectively with a malfunctioning “engine.” Following is a brief summary of the problems inherent in the business model of health care that prevails in the United States.

Rejects Wholistic Medicine

The current system (2010) promotes a mechanistic view of the human body, which tends to treat a malfunctioning organ in isolation, much like the independent systems of an automobile. If a part is broken just fix or replace it using the Just In Time (JIT) distribution model.

There is a de-emphasis on nutrition and suppression of natural healing techniques that are far more effective than the chemical approach to health care. The natural healing approach uses natural substances (as presented in nature) to augment natural healing processes within the body.

Embraces Harmful Drug Therapy

Drugs are produced which alleviate or mask symptoms and do not address underlying causes of disease. Drugs promote an acidic condition in the body which leads to retraction of the disease and sets the stage for other problems. A misleading distinction between “good” and “bad” drugs is established in the public mind.

In addition drugs usually produce side-effects which are often worse than the disease, including death. In fact, doctor induced death by means of drugs and other malpractice is the #3 cause of death in America, according to the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA, July 26, 2000;284(4):483-5). About 100,000 are killed annually by physician administered drugs.

Driven By Profit Motive

The health insurance system restricts coverage to known risks/diseases and thus discourages innovation. Thus, the entire system is locked into the status quo and patients are thereby forced to accept ineffective and outrageously expensive treatments as the norm. Degenerative disease for almost everybody is the inevitable result.

At the same time, the insurance system provides no incentive for consumers to practice preventative medicine and further escalates costs. The system rewards inactivity and passive response, but does little or nothing to incentivize personal responsibility.

The prevailing business model has a vested interest in maintaining a diseased condition in the populace, which requires ongoing purchase of expensive drugs. Breakthroughs that result in actual healing or cure are a threat to the system. Thus, billions are spent on propaganda to convince the public and health care practitioners that drugs are the way to go.

There are other factors driving costs skyward under the business model, that make health coverage unaffordable for more and more middle-class Americans. The legendary failure of the business model is doubly dangerous. It produces an outcry that invites the intervention of big government. Thus, has arisen one of the great oxy-morons of the modern world: “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”
