Health care or health nightmare?

Americans have long had a history with taking pills to enhance health. Or so we were taught and instructed from the forties and beyond. In these last five years there has been a shift. The kind of shift that has harmed millions. And is going to harm many more if our government will not step in.

Falls, fractures, basic medical care seriously lacking in Oregon.

From infections in the sinus' to fractures from falls. Patients given three days of pain medications, no availability of good primary care doctors. Rules implemented out of fear and reprisal from the DEA. Doctors and all medical care providers acting like police and probationers. Demanding drug screens, limiting medication amounts, even when instructions are to take multiple pills if needed.  Doctors telling patients, "it's just business."

Business is something we operate to try to make money. Now, health care has become nothing but a huge trillion dollar business. With so much profit to be made by forcing people to see their doctors every quarter. Then telling people they have to fill out health surveys and answer health information insurance questions. If you don't, you might loose any health insurance. Or be forced to pay the IRS fines for not having health insurance? What is wrong with this picture?

Perhaps Doctors need to file a class actions suit against the Drug enforcement agency of America. For interfering in the health care of Americans.

Unfortunately, the truth is the DEA has never,'told', any hospital or Doctor to do anything. They merely have suggested they monitor patients better who they prescribe pain medications to.

 The DEA has followed up with arresting and incarcerating doctors and pharmacists that have over prescribed in their eyes. 

What has happened? The fear of reprisal from the Federal government?

Hospitals and clinics have refused to treat pain. They will talk to you for the three or four hundred dollars, they will not give you pain medications for more than 3 days with fractures, torn muscles and too many other injuries to list.

How are we going to fix things? A uniformed health care system like Canada where people are treated and medications are given. With a clear understanding health is something each of us control. And when the time comes we need a pill we get one. Americans need to fight back, if we truly care about our health, we must demand better treatment. And get the DEA and IRS out of health care.
