Pricele$$: The Failure of U.S. Healthcare Spending (w/Infographic)

By now most readers know that any claim made about the U.S. having the best healthcare in the world has become something lost in the statistics of reality. As a consequence, the entire country is being given a force-fed “solution” called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or better known as Obamacare. It’s already been an unmitigated disaster, regardless of what Nancy Pelosi’s daughter asserts about no one having the right to tread on her precious Obamacare – making a sick mockery of the true symbol of liberty, the Gadsden Flag.

But mockery is built into the whole U.S. medical paradigm, which has made health an increasingly labyrinthine and costly proposition. People are awash in pharmaceuticals, psychotropics, and every manner of artificiality to supposedly heal their ailments – real or imagined. And they continue to get sicker. In fact, the medical system along with its FDA-approved drugs causes hundreds of thousands of deaths annually!

The following infographic first takes a broad look at the current state of U.S. healthcare spending by introducing the salient facts of life expectancy results from other countries that spend far less. More importantly, however, the graphic concludes by offering the solution to both the expense and the lack of effectiveness within the current paradigm. As always, the solution is simpler than we might think. Could it be that the less we spend on “modern medicine,” while embracing traditional markers of a well-adjusted lifestyle, the better chance we have at living a long, healthy, productive life?

You be the judge….
