In our current health care system, doctors do not guide patients into identifying the root cause of their illness and a plan to eliminate or heal the cause. Instead, doctors prescribe drugs to suppress symptoms and the patient is never cured. Every drug has side effects so doctors prescribe another drug to suppress those symptoms and so it continues.

Since his election, I have persistently begged President Obama, my senators, and my congressional representative to please get over their obsession with continuing this trillion-dollar giveaway to insurance companies, drug manufacturers, and doctors, and really reform health care in America.
I am a healthy 82 year old great-grandmother who has no illness or disease and take no drugs because I have not been to a doctor for health concerns in more than 50 years (only for treatment of accidental injuries).
