[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love medicine and I’m grateful we have it. [/quote] This conversation isn't about whether people love medicine. I love medicine. It's whether certain medications in the US are overprescribed in general. We aren't exactly healthier in the US. While medications on an individual level are very helpful, it's not crazy to wonder if there might be an additional route - in addition to the medications - that might improve our outcomes. [/quote] Millions of Americans don’t have health insurance and don’t get inadequate preventable health care. Start there. And we eat more processed food than other countries. And we work more hours a week than most countries and take fewer vacations. And we value profits over people. So god forbid we make changes that might reduce someone’s investment portfolio or a corporate bottom line. It’s not a mystery. At all. [/quote]
