How much does a hospital rip you off... Eye opening...

Why is it that no one is talking about the fact that many hospitals charge three or four times their cost, and make a big profit off of you? And, if you're not insured, they charge you more, sometimes as much as ten times more than an insurance company whose patient has the exact same treatment!

Go to and look up your hospital's charges compared to Johns Hopkins, which is considered to be the finest in America. They also provide solutions for not getting ripped off.

Did you know that our health care system is THE leading cause of death? Most would say heart disease is #1. Iatrogenesis (death by doctors) includes hospital errors, hospital-acquired infections, adverse drug reactions, nursing homes, and are just some that contribute to the real leading cause of death. See for more.

So now, our gov. is going to fix our boo-boo? Right! They are Now, our biggest boo-boo!

In the last 100 years, we've lost about 80% of the nutritional value in our soil, and about 50% of the oxygen content in the air we breath, necessitating nutritional supplementation. Now, McCain has filed a new bill that will seriously affect our access to supplements.

This information should be spread far and wide, especially to our legislators who helped create this mess since 1913.

Iatrogenesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Ancient Greek painting in a vase, showing a physician (iatros) ' bleeding ' a patient.

The terms iatrogenesis and iatrogenic artifact refer to inadvertent adverse effects or complications caused by or resulting from medical treatment or advice. In addition to harmful consequences of actions by physicians, iatrogenesis can also refer to actions by other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists, therapists, pharmacists, nurses, dentists, and others. Iatrogenesis is not restricted to conventional medicine and can also result from complementary and alternative medicine treatments.

Some iatrogenic artifacts are clearly defined and easily recognized, such as a complication following a surgical procedure. Some are less obvious and can require significant investigation to identify, such as complex drug interactions. And, some conditions have been described for which it is unknown, unproven or even controversial whether they be iatrogenic or not; this has been encountered particularly with regard to various psychological and chronic pain conditions. Research in these areas is ongoing.

Causes of iatrogenesis include chance, medical error, negligence, social control and the adverse effects or interactions of prescription drugs. In the United States, from 120,000 to 225,000 deaths per year may be attributed in some part to iatrogenesis.[1]

Thank You...Tango.....

This issue really gets me....for those few of us
that care to do the researching into alternatives....
in a true natural form...where
we could run optimally...now they want to rob us
of that choice too.....
and offer us deadly synthetics....

perhaps we weren't such a few after all.....
and that we've become a mass .....
a threat that has to be dealt with....

I say...
stop them dead in their tracks!

why try to mimic nature when you can have the real thing...
It should be our right to choose and I let Al Franken know

WAKE UP WORLD~LOVE & LIGHT......Freedom

Withdrew post because it may have caused some extra work for the Mods. I already know they would rather have me sweep this under the carpet so there are no waves in the pond. We can't have that even though it might be truthful. I now understand their intentions. Just for you Sam.

The sad thing is that Doctors are not healers...They work for big Pharma. I have had personal experience and was let down in a major way and, will pay for this 'lack' of healing for the duration of this life. This world is outrageous...i want to live elsewhere...any suggestions?
