The root of the problem is that health care is too d-mn expensive. Not only that, many cures are suppressed. It's a huge racket.

I absolutely agree with you there. It has become wealth over health, and we are the cash cows.
Thanks @fulltimegeek!
exactly.
In 1973 'The Health Maintenance Organization Act' was passed which made it legal for the healthcare industry to profit off of health. There's no money to be made in cures, right?
This is a great article about it:

Prior to 1973 it was ILLEGAL to profit from healthcare. Crazy isn't it?
100% this. The medical/health industry switched to a profit-based model several decades ago. I can't recall which administration approved this but it has crippled our system ever since. I'll place a big bet that there's already cures for many diseases out there. But cure does not line the pockets of those in the industry. Imagine if cancer was cured - the amount of money that goes into cancer treatment, radiology, and rehabilitation is in the billions. It's all rigged.
edit: found it - it was the Nixon administration that signed the bill into place allowing healthcare providers to profit, prior to that it was illegal. called "The Health Maintenance Organization Act"
There is no money in a cure.
And dont forget all the "non-profit" fundraising and merchandise sales!
Cash care is much cheaper than insurance.
Co-ops that work on cash basis... works
That's what we do!
Is your co-op state specific? I really need to find something before its too late.
We use this one : http://www.chministries.org/
Duly noted.
Thank you!
Good to know. But, I'm still searching for a provider of Steem Care.
It's up to us to make it happen I'd think. Steemit could actually be a platform for a cash based health co-op.
Just in case you missed it @fulltimegeek. From papa-pepper's comment reply above:
I agree healthcare cost is absolutely outrages. At least here in America government programs and insurances company never pay full price. Hospitals know this so they raise their rates to be more in-line with actual cost. The poor guy who gets slap in the face with these massive overcharges tend to be the people who still pay full price prices even when they have instance from out of pocket expenses.
You really need to get the full itemized list of every single thing they charge you on and fight them tooth and nail. Heck it’s not crazy to be charge a $50 consulting fee for someone just asking you “do you smoke?” even when you say no. Or they overcharge you on pills because they just had to “open” that 5 pack when you only needed 1. Yet they will never give you what you paid for, or even show proof they still have the other pills. Best to look at everything, and think logical about it and fight for a cheaper bill.
Its so true and not something I want to talk about here as someone is in a bad spot and only want to send love but the system is so diabolical.
