Whole heartedly agree!
I highly encourage reading it!
Article 1 Section 8 is the short list of powers We the People gave to the federal government. It was written by the Founders and ratified by the states on June 21, 1788. Subsequent amendments gave the government the power to ban alcohol (Prohibition, which was such a bad idea it was soon repealed) as well as the power to tax income. But most legitimate federal powers are found in Article 1 Section 8. Itâs a short list, and health care isnât one of them. That means itâs an issue for the states or the people, which you can read in the very short 10th Amendment.

As an Energy Healer I absolutely agree with this! There are so many non invasive healing modalities available that too many people donât utilize ! I was diagnosed in 2010 with Multiple Sclerosis. I trusted my doctors and had to try 3 different MS treatments all of which carried the risk of MASSIVE and fatal side effects. Not to mention ALL of the MS medications that I had taken are immunosuppressants! And the cost for 1 treatment was absolutely ASTRONOMICAL!!! From 2010 until I took my last Pharmaceutical MS treatment in 2019 I continued to have relapse after relapse that got worse and worse. When Covid happened I could not comfortably subject myself to putting any more pharmaceutical poison in my body that wiped out my immune system! I decided to turn to Energy healing to care for my body and to this day I havenât had a single MS Relapse!!!

I have watched how insurance companies have been allowed to interfere with Doctor-Patient bond over the years. You and your doctor decide on an agreeable treatment plan and insurance jumps in with a cookie cutter policy that requires XYZ before you can, maybe, get the treatment that works for you. I donât see the insurance compay contril as cost effective at all. Prices have risen and quality of care suffers. Private doctors are hard to come by and nurse practitioners and Physician Assistants are used instead of MDs. Insurance companies need to be relieved of control over what healthcare we decide we need.

Not sure if this should be a government issue but I totally agree. We belong to a co-op insurance because we are self employed and tired of dealing with govt insurance crap. Maybe this is more of a business idea where a co-op type insurance would have incentives for finding root cause issues and healing them which would then lead to much less costs for medical intervention.
Whats a co-op insurance model?

Definitely agree with this. Insurance and Big Pharma are all hand in hand, not sure how well it would go through.

The history of health insurance in the US is instructive.
The federal government during WWII unconstitutionally created wage and price controls. Itâs one of many examples of 100% pure unconstitutional tyranny in 20th Century USA. To attract employees, employers got around the wage controls by beginning to offer benefits, such as health insurance, which werenât counted as part of the wage despite being an obvious economic incentive.
The problem is that once the insurance industry got involved and then normalized, it created layers and layers of administrators / bureaucrats between people who need medical care and doctors who give it. Today, most doctors donât even work directly for hospitals; theyâre contractors working for companies that add to the layers of administrators / bureaucrats. The wartime wage and price controls eventually ended, but the insurance industry had its hooks in the system by then. Congress has unconstitutionally catered to the (generously donating) insurance industry ever since.
So, the reason youâre in the position youâre in WRT health insurance is because people allowed the government to become tyrannical 75+ years ago. The government has no constitutional legitimacy meddling in health insurance, let alone requiring it to be purchased by law.
I believe the solution is to get the government out of the insurance industry, consistent with Article I Section 8 of the Constitution.

Because most of them donât know about it as Big Pharma dictates what medical schools teach. The whole system should be revamped.

Look up Christian Healthcare Ministries. Thatâs the one we use. Itâs the same basic idea as insurance but instead of a business model itâs more of a community minded cooperation. As in, everyone pays in, and then if/when you need healthcare help, the community shares from the collected funds. When you go to the doctor, you say you are a cash payer, but the medical provider never bills anyone. You submit your need directly to the co-op. We are paying a quarter of what we were paying with Marketplace insurance and itâs basically the same coverage in the end.

Congrats! Thatâs amazing! I think many of us here have turned to natural healing because the modern medical system failed us.

I have an HSA account that I love. I want to be able to buy vitamins and other things that I view are in the best interest of my health. I only seek alternative healthcare now and I think itâs crazy that preventative care is not an approved expesne. I have also seen some types of vitamins approved, but not others.

I agree. I wish all vitamin and holistic services would go towards insurance deductibles. I go to minimal dr appointments a year and take 1 Rx but spend $100âs each month on supplements.
