Where Has All Your Freedoms Gone?

I am sure by this time everyone has hear of the thirteen year old boy here in Minnesota that is forced to take chemotherapy. The key word here is forced. Now I understand that the boy is in the custody of his parents who are suppose to make the right decision for their child and yes everyone wants the best for the child. The question is what is really the best thing for him? Since we have a monotheistic medical industry and I emphasis the word industry here since it is and is designed as a for profit business. By monotheistic, I mean we really, according to law, only have one choice and if you decide that you would like a different choice you are subject to legal prosecution. In the "Land of The Free" where have all our freedoms gone.

People often complain about the cost of health care, but no one really wants to discuss the real issue and that is that there is no competition to lower your costs. When you have an industry protected by law to be the one and only choice for your health care you can imagine what you will be charged.

With the cost aside for a moment, I know through personal experience that there are many options for your health care that can be just as effective as the protected industry, but we cannot legally say what they are without fear of legal prosecution. Nor, as we find out from recent news articles that we can refuse it. When did we give up our rights. There is a reason that you are admitted to the hospital. Admission is a voluntary condition, once you are admitted to the hospital, you have just given up your rights to allow the medical staff to make the best choices for you that they feel necessary based on their knowledge and information. We assume that they know better than we do and in many cases this is true, but not all. I have found that most medical professionals have a very poor understanding of nutrien and dietary health.

What do you think? Are you willing to give up your rights to have the freedom to make your own choices? Let me know.
