Dare We Dream Big For Our Nation About Health Reform
A broad critique of health care reform costs argues that 40 to 80 billion dollars may be unaffordable. It notes that 28 percent of federal health spending funds extended life for dying patients and questions whether drastic measures are warranted. The piece urges preventive medicine and nutrition as practical paths to reducing disease costs, citing Harvard studies on vitamin E and stroke prevention, plus evolving roles for nutrition in cancer prevention and dental progress. It highlights Accutane and other nutrients as potential cancer fighters, and questions if medicine can shift from curing to preventing chronic illness.
