That's a gross oversimplification and basically incorrect So what are the non-drug treatments recommended by the AMA for type II diabetes? Asthma? Acid reflux? Arthritis? Osteoporosis? Are you saying doctor's aren't trained in biochemistry and metabolic pathways? No, they are schooled there as it relates to the way drugs work! All doctors receive training in nutrition, if they choose to sleep through the course Please tell me doctors are healthier than the population at large. Healthcare organizations and hospitals are my biggest clients, I'm the one who has to make them LOOK healthy for the annual report. Maybe they are trained in these things but some of the most unhealthy people in terms of lifestyle are doctors themselves. My sister has a doctor who tips the scale at 400 pounds who tells her that it's OK that she's twice her normal weight even though almost all of her problems are complicated by her weight. I'm not saying all of them live unhealthy lifestyles, I've run a few marathons next to doctors and I've known a few in the bike club, but I've met far too many going down the same path of their patients. because no one will pay them for applying those concepts when they get into the real world No one pays me to tell my clients that what they want to hire me to do is not in their best interest but I still do it because I have a long term interest in their well being (even if that conflicts with my short term desire to make more money). Where is it in private enterprise does it make sense to kill off your customers with unnecessary drugs and surgeries even if they demand them? isn't the vaunted "private medical delivery system" as much to blame (if not more) than the educational process Why is it you think a government panel of experts can deliver medical services more efficiently than a free market. I have a friend who writes Medicare policy and I can tell you people are born and die while they are still in committee trying to debate the various changes and initiatives and then write up the language. Not only that, the worst aspect is that every time the administration changes they send down a whole new set of directives to be implemented undoing the last set of changes. Do you really want your work in the hands of a House sub committee and who is in the White House? I'll take my chances on the free market, even in its weakened form. If one provider doesn't work for me, I'll find another. Put it all under one government agency and you'll have to buy from the black market or buy a plane ticket for the last remaining country that doesn't have public health.
