In recent months, I’ve experienced a few health issues. Nothing compared to my friend, who has been diagnosed with stage four cancer.
In the midst of treatment, a family member is looking into alternative therapies for the cancer. Just in case. Alternative equals big bucks.
For monthly treatment at a clinic in Texas, one estimate is between $10,000 to $16,000 per month.
The cost of the alternative care doesn’t include the rounds of chemotherapy this person will undergo.
I suspect that many of those who were against the national health plan rarely have had to consider the possibility of extent some people are willing to go to healthcare to save a life. While I’m not thinking that everyone should go out and find alternative treatments, the costs are staggering.
Then I start considering all those who cannot afford health insurance and how much their lack of insurance ends up costing us all in the long run.
Money, money, money.
And I thought it was all about feeling good…I guess only if you have the cash.
Let’s reduce healthcare to its final absurdity. All the money in the world goes to saving the single person with the most expensive malady. And, since there is no money left in the system for anyone else we are left in the same defacto uninsured position we were before this all started.
This maybe here say, but maybe not if your desperate. I found this on the net.
Pass it on.

My Mom had been taking the full-stalk canned style
asparagus that she pureed and she took 4 tablespoons in
the morning and 4 tablespoons later in the day. She did
this for over a month. She is on chemo pills for Stage 3
lung cancer in the pleural area and her cancer cell
count went from 386 down to 125 as of this past week.
Her oncologist said she does not need to see him for 3
months.
Good Luck.
