We currently live with a highly inflated medical cost of 4+trillion dollars. It’s bleeding our Country dry, big businesses, federal and state agencies are bloated with large budget outlays. I think 50% of the cost is pharma and infusion. No other countries are supporting this initiative to grow these cost by 10-20% annually. Insurance companies act like banks funding and financing these growing costs. I think several things need to be done to correct these cost increases.
- First and foremost is Transparency in cost of care. Why is good RX our only road map to shop for care. Why not posted cost of healthcare.
- Second is lack of trust, the hospital and doctor and pharmacy trilogy has too much pressure on profit over actual health outcomes.
- Clean up the advertising industry, food safety laws and teach the basic principles of proper nutrition in order to lower obesity and reduce costs.
- Keep pushing telecom, public health screening using AI and cell phones. Add simple home automation for sleep deprivation, bloodwork monitoring and BMI, we have many devices that can improve health.
- Put filtered water in all public places have more public restrooms with some health monitoring devices, hydration and sanitation are the two easiest ways to improve health gains and outcomes.
- Take soda off the table, it’s in every single building in America. It’s retailers biggest selling item. Tax the products out of reach. Sell soda water flat water and safe flavored beverages that are low calorie without using sugar or dangerous sweeteners.
- Open up Dental, cosmetic and elective care to international care professionals in North America and around the world, healthcare competition would be better if it’s global. We are on very level scales worldwide and cost should be more affordable not just limited to US
- Find the blue zones and study their history, try to understand the reason these regions have been healthy for centuries. Use your knowledge to develop a better sense of what works best.
- Why does a country like Cuba have the same life expectancy as the US? Why was Haiti safer during Covid lockdowns with few deaths.
- Reduce indoor and outdoor air quality, measure your air quality. Add filters, oxygen if necessary, treat the entire environment don’t treat the body to adjust to the environment. Bring down all contaminants in the air and water including fluoride aluminum barium chlorine and ozone
