American healthcare failing

Americans are sicker than the British despite twice the spending on healthcare in the USA as in Britain, a newly published study claims.

“Why isn’t the richest country in the world the healthiest country in the world?” study co-author Dr. Marmot asks.

Doctors and researchers are scrambling to account for the dramatic differences. “It’s a mystery,” some conclude.

No one has yet mentioned the most obvious explanation of all. And that is, increased spending on healthcare does not increase the overall health of our population. Conventional medical practices, which absorb by far the largest share of our healthcare expenditures, are not working.

Why the healthcare system in the US is failing is not a mystery. The US model is based on a premise that largely fails to account for the spiritual individuality of a patient.

People are not mindless robots. They are not mere chemicals and electrical charges. They are spiritual beings with a consciousness that governs their state of health. To improve the body, the mind governing the body needs to be improved. This is done through love, comfort, and understanding, medicine that does not come from a bottle, but from an understanding of God’s tender care for each of us.

Filling thought with truth and love will succeed where pumping bodies full of drugs fails.

It’s time to re-define healthcare from taking more drugs to spiritualizing consciousness. It doesn’t cost near as much to fund and the effect is far better.
