This item tells the truth about ongoing government fraud regarding healthcare in America.  It will make you hopping mad.   Quote: "What has happened since the 1970s is that medical spending has gone from ~5% of GDP to almost 20%, a four-fold increase in percentage terms. What’s just as bad, however, is that the much-vaunted “Medicare” and “Medicaid” (single-payer, basically) that this chick likes to argue for has seen a roughly 9% compounded rate of increase in spend for the last 30 years.  Obamacare managed to buy one year of decreased spending — exactly one. On this trajectory the Federal Government will try to spend $2 trillion dollars by the time Trump’s first term ends, nearly $800 billion more than it spends now. There is utterly no possible way to do that.     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/14/the-politics-of-theft-medical-system-style/

Do not fall for the Left's lie that a single payer solution with them in charge of a socialist government managing our healthcare is what is needed.   http://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/the-real-cost-of-free-healthcare/   They blew their  chance to be heroes so the Democrats who by themselves created the Obamacare monster deserve every bit of the blowback they are now getting.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/desperate_dems_claire_mccaskill_calls_obamacare_a_mistake.html

A look at what would reduce healthcare costs. Quote: "We average more than $10,000 per person this year in health care expenses. This collectively amounts to more than $3 trillion, a figure approximating nearly a fifth of our gross domestic product. Few nations pay even half that portion, and similar nations do not expend anything close to such an exorbitantly high percentage of their economy on health care. Because we pay a high price at the doctor’s office our economy pays a high price. Unless the American people and their elected representatives do something dramatic to limit costs, limits on our economy persist. The problem remains extraordinarily complex. But some simple solutions exist to bring costs down. Here are 10, which if implemented even in a less than full-throttled way, could bring spending down by $1 trillion:"     https://spectator.org/top-10-ways-to-trim-health-care-spending-by-a-trillion/?

What are they hiding and why?   They do not want you to know natural treatments apparently work. Quote: "While I personally don’t feel that all modern medicine is of no value, I do believe it operates on a philosophy that teaches the public to be dependent on doctors instead of learning how to prevent and reverse disease ourselves.  Many doctors resort to harmful radiation and drug cocktails to poison everything in hopes of killing more cancer cells than normal cells. This approach, unlike many alternative treatments kills your body’s own defense systems. Remember that cancerous cells grow out of control only when your innate healing ability weakens and your tumor suppression functions fail. So, when faced with cancer you have a right to know about and pursue leading natural therapies that won’t kill your healthy cells and further deteriorate your immune system. Even though many have been largely abolished in the U.S., that doesn’t mean you can’t get access one way or another."  https://easyhealthoptions.com/cancer-treatments-dont-want-know/

This item reveals that it is now possible to get eye exams over the internet that equal or better the ones in doctor's offices.  However, the eye doctor community is trying to get the FDA to ban such operations.  This provides an example of collusion between the medical community and FDA to protect their turf and not the interests of the public.  The piece deals with more such issues.  Quote: "So naturally, optometrists want this alternative banned. “This is really foolhardy and really dangerous,” said former American Optometric Association president Andrea Thau on “Good Morning America.”  She wouldn’t do an interview with me. Nor would anyone else from her Association — despite our sending them emails for a month.  I assume they knew I’d mock them for trying to ban the competition. Which they are trying to do. They wrote the FDA that the at-home test “should be taken off the market.”  What they’re really saying is that patients should not have the right to make any choices in their own vision care.  The optometrists are bottleneckers. “Bottleneckers: Gaming the Government for Power and Private Profit” is the title of Dick Carpenter’s new book. He studies how established professionals use government to limit competition."     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/09/06/seeing-alternatives/

How can this be science???  Quote: "According to GLAAD, “Gender identity is a person’s internal, personal sense of being a man or a woman (or boy or girl.) For some people, their gender identity does not fit neatly into those two choices. For transgender people, the sex they were assigned at birth and their own internal gender identity do not match.”  But what is “internal gender” if the categories of male and female are totally man-made? (Remember: We’re not just talking about biological sex here. We’re talking about gender categories.) And why fixate so much on the “plumbing” if that is not what determines gender? It makes better sense to argue for “gender anarchy.” At least there’s a consistency there (although, to be honest, one that is in complete denial of the reality of God-given and God-established sex distinctions). Who needs husbands and wives or mothers and fathers or boys and girls? Let’s all be the same! That will even the playing field. Gender won’t exist at all."   http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/the-lgbt-genital-double-talk/

This man resigned from his Trump appointed position on the national manufacturing council presumably because of Trump's racism and because he failed to specifically condemn white racism following the Charlottesville riots.  It takes two sides for a riot to occur.  Trump's call for calm on all sides was apparently not good enough for this black elitist.  One person was killed during the rioting.  As this item notes that number pales in comparison to the deaths resulting from Merck's pharmaceutical products where he is CEO.  His resignation speaks volumes regarding the hypocrisy of pharmaceutical elites.   http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-08-14-memo-to-merck-ceo-ken-frazier-your-company-has-easily-killed-100000-times-the-number-of-those-killed-in-charlottesville-violence.html
