Best #HealthFreedom Shows of 2022
Insurance gets a COMPETITOR, patients get EMPOWERED, doctors looking for AN OUT, govt needs a CAGE
You can skip the links below to the best shows that I’ll describe, and instead watch my conclusion on empowering patients and their healers around cash competition, and what laws to change in DC and in the 50 states.
HOW I LEARNED ABOUT HEALTH. I got thrust into the health issue 3 decades ago, when assigned by my Republican congressman boss to fight Hillarycare - which my later Cato colleague Doug Bandow most accurately characterized as hiring orgs called HMOs to do the dirty work of rationing, all within a price-controlled Medicare-like budget (hopefully one fueled forever by endless Federal Reserve money-printing). That’s exactly what the global elites want, for control and profit. The health system doesn’t care about your health, so my Freedom Hub Health Biz & Politics weekly zoom seeks to upgrade the market to fix that.
INSURANCE GETS A COMPETITOR. There exists something about ObamaCare for which to be thankful: Medical Cost Sharing, which exploded for the bankruptcy insurance premiums were causing for families and smallbusiness owners. A couple million Americans have migrated to Sharing, and over 90% aren’t returning to insurance. With Trump’s expansion of what are called Health Reimbursement Accounts, we can offer Sharing now to large groups. But just as Congress gummed up the works for credit unions (at the behest of their bank competitors), will insurance commissioners get away with limiting consumer Sharing?
ALLOWING A MARKET TO EXIST. Consumers need prices to weigh opportunity costs - the opportunity lost for spending a dollar on something else. No market more notoriously hides or distorts prices than health care. That’s why I love selling our Sharing plan with tax-advantaged Health Savings Accounts - because our Concierge helps patients shop for quality-priced drugs, tests & specialists. We couldn’t help this shopping without the vendors who work with the doctors and hospitals to disgorge their all-inclusive prices (combining surgery, facility & anasthesia). Actuaries have come up with a money-doubling, pre-paid VISA to pay for Out of Pocket costs like checkups, urgent care & treatments, or ongoing therapies, dental or electives. Using that account for actual Out-of-Pocket allows families to max out their tax-advantaged Health Savings Accounts to build $100K for when they’ll need cash for huge costs during retirement. Of course, passing free market reforms suffer from an electorate dumbed down by a media beholden to special interests like pharma who like the status quo just fine. So how should a politician communicate health reform with voters?
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT PRICE. But how does a patient determine quality? Our brokerage uses tools to rate specialists, but this topic necessarily is subjective. One thing to do is participate in Freedom Hub’s weekly zooms, so we learn together how to get better health. One guest shocked us with the possibility that the entire anasthesiology market is experimenting on patients with drugs that aren’t safe and effective.
WILL COVID LEAD TO UPGRADE IN HEALTH MARKET? Of course a health show in 2022 couldn’t just cover how to fix the doctor-patient relationship, but also had to address the tyranny around the Covid hysteria. As the late Dr. Bens presented, the whole damn system needs fixing. But what about the Perps who need prosecution? They cruelly extended the “emergency” for unscientific reasons, thus raising the important debate whether public health is too politicized to fix. More broadly, will the global elites ever apologize, or let us upgrade the market? The fear-mongering certainly exacerbated the epidemic of stress.
IT’S YOUR GUT, NOT THE VIRUS. One of the biggest mysteries remains the contagion itself. Was it a leaked, bioweaponized virus, or was the plandemic just the false positives from the rigged test and the countermeasures (livelihood-sabotaging lockdowns, virtue-signaling masking, early treatment-prohibiting hospital protocols, dissident-silencing censoring & risk-suppressed vaccination)? Was there, in fact, no virus (or was it some other microparticle)? And does that revive Pasteur’s germ theory debate with Bechamp’s terrain admonition to improve lifestyle to prevent disease? Is the most important preventive to work on ones gut and its connection to the fascia and brain biome? We should use the money-doubling account mentioned above to seek out a higher class of dentists - who understand the mouth’s connection to this biome. There’s even a component for the mind (or spirit) in health - worked on via meditation and yoga. Persecuted frontline doctor Marik thinks now corruption in science is too far gone to allow any part of mainstream allopathy to go unexamined.
NEED BETTER DOCTORS & HOSPITALS. Learning that health comes not from a pharma potion but rather lifestyle improvements, what laws do we change in the 50 states to ease the challenge of doctors to upgrade into integrated healers. And to stop licensing boards from persecuting doctors who practice the art of medicine, we need to set up a system of competitive certification that creates a race to the top in healer quality. Hospitals have killed Covid patients by denying early treatment; they’ve lost their moral high ground and deserve exposure to competition from hospitals who respect the Hippocratic Oath, Informed Consent & the Right to Try. Why, though, is it so challenging to construct an integrated hospital?
DO VACCINES HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE? My lobbying client National Health Federation has a bill to require the government to fess up on fraudulent vaccine science (none of them test against inert placebo and therefore cannot make safety or effectiveness claims), while establishing a national right to ignore vaccine mandates. Freedom Hub heard from a traditional homeopath on their version of “vaccination”, and learned how to take their treatments for travel. Traveling certainly hasn’t benefited from mass vaccination, as pilots are blowing the whistle. Traveling is something we’ll want easy access to, for overseas treatments forbidden in the US. There’s a lot of alternatives to pharma’s toxic potions; indeed, a whole series on biohacking.
INFORMED CONSENT ISN’T JUST ABOUT VACCINES. Now that the Covid vaccine’s excess injury rate has reminded humans to the importance of #InformedConsent, they should be ready to tackle the next violation of our health without our permission. Telecom & utility companies are erecting 5G wireless antennas and smartmeters outside our bedrooms and kids’ classrooms. And just as govt & media downplay vaccine risk, they ignore wireless risk. And just as terrain theory offers an alternative to vaccination, the alternative to radiation-emitting and privacy-violating wireless is fiber optic wiring to the premises, and retaining analog meters for electrical, water and gas reading.
FREEDOM IS THE ANSWER TO HEALTH. Accounting for a fifth of the American market, the special interests have a lot to lose with freedom. With government and media in their pockets, they can profit from scaring us into their doctor offices - the gateway to chronic medicating for life. Covid taught us that health freedom is inseparable from total freedom.
