5% of Americans Made Up 50% of U.S. Healthcare Spending – Yahoo! Finance

 

The problem with this kind of study is that it will provide for the conservatives to basically complaining that those who are terminally ill are costing us so much money that they should simply be left to die.  And how do I know that?  Because it is in Boston when I was working doing a financial contract that I encountered a group of conservative individuals who were based out of California.  And their philosophy was that anyone over 70 use of age should not be allowed to have any medical care at all.  And this group further suggested that anyone who became seriously ill should also be denied medical care.  I of course took exception to that particular point of view.  And I remember very clearly having a discussion with a fellow analyst who was about my age but who subscribed to that particular belief.  That anyone who is seriously ill should not get any medical care at all.  Because of the cost.  And then what happened was that later that year.  This individual who was advocating anyone who is seriously ill should simply be left to die suddenly became seriously ill herself.  Then suddenly she was not in favor of denying medical care to anyone who is seriously ill.  Because she was one of the people that would then no longer get any medical care.  In other words conservatives always find it easy to condemn others to die until they suddenly find themselves in that same situation.

 

And of course, the problem with this report is that it is highly symptomatic in its logical perspective.  Meaning it is reactionary.  Meaning that it is flat minded and linear.  Because the reality is that the problem with health costs not only in the United States but around the world is not as a result of the costs themselves.  But in fact the real problem is looking at why people are becoming so sick.

As I have said many times, the pharmaceutical industry is doing something that is extremely unscrupulous.  Because the pharmaceutical industry is basically building into its pharmaceuticals or drugs a kind of planned obsolescence.  And how they are doing that is by making drugs that are going to cure one condition.  But that have so many side effects that the drug industry is virtually assured that as a result of a certain percentage of the people taking those medications that once the first illness is cured from the medication.  Those individuals or a certain percentage of the individuals taking those medications will in fact come down with a secondary illness as a result of taking those medications.  Whereby they will have to go back to the drug companies.  For more medications.  So in essence, the drug companies are causing a certain number of people to become sick from taking their own medications so that those people will then have to go back to the drug companies to get more medications.  It is a way for the drug companies to ensure their market share and to ensure that they will not ever run out of people needing their medications.  Meaning the drug companies are purposely making a certain percentage of the people in the United States sick so that they will then need to go back to the drug companies to take more medications.

That is one part of the problem.  But it is a very sinister part because nobody is doing anything to stop this extremely lethal and criminal behavior on the part of the drug companies.  The other part of the problem is that the medical industry has been continually resistive if not stand fast in their refusal to look into holistic medicine.  Meaning the medical industry has done everything they could not to look into anticipatory behavior or look at illnesses in the United States from a problematic standpoint.  Because the medical industry does not make any money when people are not sick.  So the medical industry does not want to take the position of helping people to prevent from becoming sick.  Because the people prevent themselves from becoming sick in the medical industry loses customers.

So, suddenly fixing this so-called 5% problem is not really as easy as it might appear.  Because the drug companies and the medical industry are actually paying each other off to be quiet about this kind of planned obsolescence that both industries are in fact practicing in order to maintain their customer base.  And of course the members of Congress being as basically stupid and flat minded as they are.  Because most of them are really nothing more than lawyers.  And if you did a schematic on the amount of really intelligent people who were lawyers, you would find that most of the lawyers are not really that bright.  Most of the lawyers in this country are rather actually fairly stupid.  So consequently, when Congress looks at these costs.  Because most of them are lawyers and because most of them are rather stupid and flat minded and linear in their thinking.  The knee-jerk reaction that they have is that the costs are too high.  Because they are basically too stupid to understand that the reason that the costs are too high is because people are getting sick more often.

So because Congress is basically so stupid and the people who are the members of Congress are basically so stupid they immediately go after the costs rather than trying to put up and shut up and do the more intelligent thing which is to try to find out why people are getting sick more often.  Furthermore, because Congress is not only stupid, meaning most of the people in Congress are actually basically stupid individuals and not really intelligent.  They are also taking lots of soft money payments from the drug companies and the medical industry to basically put up and shut up and remain as stupid as possible so that the members of Congress will continue to complain about costs but never look at the real problem out why people are getting sick more often.

So when you have really very criminal people who are in the medical industry and the drug industry basically running both of those industries on the one side and then you have really stupid individuals, meaning really stupid people who are in Congress.  Because that is really what they are very stupid unintelligent people there.  Not very smart, they are basically extremely stupid.  Because it does not take a lot of intelligence to get into Congress.  All it takes is someone’s ability to be able to live very well and to sound like they are intelligent.  Because the really intelligent people want nothing to do with governmental work.

So when you have really stupid people in congress from all of the different political parties and who are basically lawyers and do not give a damn about really fixing the problem of why people are becoming more sick in the United States, along with the extremely criminal behavior by various members of the medical community and the drug community you have a situation where the 5% problem is virtually unfixable.  And let us not forget that the behavior of most of the insurance companies in the United States is very criminal.  And I know that is true because my wife Aileen was a licensed under writer for the insurance industry for 38 years.

So part of the problem of fixing this so-called 5% solution in the United States boils down to extremely criminal behavior on the one side and extremely stupid behavior on the part of the members of Congress who are basically so stupid that they do not really give a damn about being intelligent and they do not give a damn about fixing the problem and they do not give a damn about trying to help Americans to be healthier and they do not give a damn about human life because all they care about is money.  And like I said, when someone behaves that way.  They are really definitely a very stupid kind of person.  They are not intelligent.  So for anyone to think that people in Congress have any real intelligence is a mistake because they do not.

The reality is when you look at most of the members of Congress, you will find that most of the members of Congress cannot even manage their own campaigns.  And that is because most of the members of Congress are so stupid that they do not know how to manage their own campaigns.  They usually have lots of experts who manage their campaigns for them because most of the members of Congress are basically such stupid people that they do not really have the brains or the intelligence to be able to manage their own campaigns.  So they pay lots of experts to manage their campaigns for them.

Just like when the members of Congress are confronted with an article like this, regarding the medical costs in the United States.  Because they are basically such stupid people who are not really intelligent.  They immediately think in terms of being symptomatic regarding the problem, meaning linear and flat minded where they are reactionary.  So they immediately want to fix the symptoms and then lied to the American public about how they are fixing the problem when in fact that is nothing but a filthy lie.  Because they are not fixing the problem.  They are fixing the symptom.  And because most of America has become just as stupid as the members of Congress that which you have is you have stupid people running the government lying to most of America into a become really stupid to the point where they are believing these stupid people who are running Congress and then nothing gets fixed.

That does not mean everyone is stupid.  It just means that the conservative type of thinking is to keep people as stupid as possible because the conservative type of thinking does not want people to be intelligent.  And for that I go back to my discussions I had with Gore Vidal after Gore Vidal, was basically driven out of the United States by the conservatives in the United States.  And during those six months when Gore Vidal and I were in correspondence by e-mail before he died he explained to me several times that the conservatives of the United States had a tremendous hatred for the intellectuals in the United States, particularly the Jewish intellectuals.

So again, what we are looking at is the conservative type of thinking that is screaming and yelling about the costs and doing everything they can to lied to the American people while at the same time attacking education and attacking intellectuals in every way they can and the reason why conservatives do that is because they want people to be as stupid as possible because they know that stupid people are easier to tell what to do.  And so they do not want a lot of intellectuals in Congress they want people in Congress were basically stupid and greedy.  And that is what we have.  That is a byproduct of the conservative movement in the United States to keep people in Congress to her as stupid and is greedy and selfish as possible.  And at the same time to attack education and to attack intellectualism and to attack any kind of intellectual behavior such as the arts.  And conservatives do that because they want people to be as stupid as they possibly can be.  Because conservatives know that stupid people are much easier to control than intellectuals.  So conservatives do not like intellectuals they want everyone to be as stupid as possible.

And so what America has become is a bunch of really stupid people who are gullible not very intelligent people who do not like to read.  People who are much more interested in consuming videos and cartoons than they are in reading or becoming intellectual.  And as a result, the type of people that are elected by the stupidity going on in America are extremely stupid people in congress who are basically extremely selfish and stupid to the point where they do not really give a damn about saving anyone’s life because they are much more interested about getting the money.  And then you have of course the insurance industry in the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry, which are all working together to keep a certain amount of people as safe as possible because they do not want to lose customers.

And you really do not need to take my word for.  Except for the fact that my grandfather’s brother Dr Ally Maschke was actually the director of medicine at Mount Sinai medical center in Cleveland Ohio.  Furthermore, my father was actually on the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland clinic in Cleveland Ohio and University hospitals of Cleveland Ohio.  So I grew up understanding a great deal about the medical industry and this concept of planned obsolescence.

So, suddenly when you see what I am saying here, you realize that this 5% problem is nowhere near as simple as what anyone might make it out to be.  Because America has been going through a process of becoming more stupid over recent years is called the dumbing of America.  There have actually been articles written about the dumbing of America.  And it is all a conservative movement effort.  Because the conservatives do not want people in the United States to be really intelligent.  Because stupid people will put up and shut up and do what they are told more easily.  So conservatives attack education and any kind of intellectualism that they possibly can.  They go after artists they go after musicians they go after the arts and sciences they go after education they go after anything that is going to make smart because they do not want people to be smart.  They want people in the United States to be as stupid as possible because they hate intelligent people and like I said it was not only Gore Vidal who told me that it has been a number of other people as well.

So unfortunately this 5% problem is not really very fixable.  Because the conservatives do not want it to be fixed.  Because it works tremendously in their favor.  Because the people in Congress are basically so stupid and selfish and greedy and sets horribly stupid people that they are much more interested in taking their soft money payments than they are in in fact supporting the Constitution or protecting the rights of the American people.  But that is because most of them if not all of them are lawyers and they are not really smart people they are basically just stupid people who understand law but are extremely symptomatic in their thinking meaning flat minded and reactionary and linear.  Because they do not really want to look at anything from problematic standpoint.  Because doing that would be the intelligent thing and they are basically being paid by conservative interest groups not to be intelligent conservative interest groups do not want people to be smart.  They want them to be really stupid.  Because when people are stupid.  They will put up and shut up and sit in front of their televisions and watch stupid religious people on TV lied to them about the way things are in the world and people becoming so stupid they will sit there and believe those lies and so America becomes more and more stupid and more and more easily controlled.

But of course do not believe me.  I do not expect any of the people reading this article to believe.  I expect some of the people who are reading this article to believe me, but not most.  Because nobody likes to be told they are basically stupid but the reality is that America is becoming stupid and it is all they kind of planned attack on the intelligence of America.  Because Gore Vidal was not the only individual who was basically pushed out of the United States because he was an intellectual.  The conservatives have been going after the intellectuals in the United States all the way back to prohibition during the 1920s.

And I am sure that when anyone with any real intelligence starts looking at what I am talking about.  They will see exactly how ugly and how horrible and what monsters.  The conservatives of the United States really are.  Because with all of their bullshit that they talk about as far as being pro-life, they are nothing but stupid bastards where doing everything they can to keep America as stupid as possible so that Americans can be more easily controlled and told what to do.  So that Americans will put up and shut up and sit in front of their televisions and basically being told what to think and how to act and what to wear and how to believe about things and how to live their lives.  Because that is what conservatives want they want America to be as stupid as possible.  They want the people of this country to be as stupid as possible because conservatives are much more concerned with control and controlling Americans than they are with anything else.  And when you look at Congress and you look at all the TV ministers on TV who were basically nothing but filthy moneygrubbing liars and then you look at all the people who are buying into their bullshit you then begin to understand that the conservatives are getting exactly what they want.  They are attacking education and attacking anyone who is an intellectual.  And they are making sure that the people in our courts who are are judges and lawyers are basically stupid and they are making sure that the people who are running our governments are basically stupid and they are making sure that the medical industry or that portion of the medical industry that is really corrupt and the corrupt portion of the insurance industry and the corrupt portion of the pharmaceutical industry continue to do business as usual.  Making a certain number of Americans sick in order to maintain their customer base.

And like I said nobody likes to be told their stupid but when you start looking around the United States and you see the attack going on against education.  You find that the only people who are attacking education are conservatives.  And you find that the only people who are attacking the arts are conservatives.  You find the only people who are attacking science are conservatives.  You find the only people who are attacking any form of intellectualism are conservatives.  And when you see that you then begin to realize that what I am saying is absolutely true.  And when you understand that, then you realize that the conservatives are not what they are saying but that they are really basically monsters who are trying to do everything they can to destroy education and keep America as stupid as possible so that Americans will be more controlled so that the members of Congress were basically stupid and taking soft money payments from the drug industry and the insurance industry and the medical community will continue to go ahead and cut costs so that the conservatives can then go ahead and condemn more people to die because they have achieved making America as stupid as possible and much easier to control.

Like I said the 5% answer is not really that easy.  But the reason why it is not easy is extremely easy to understand.  And for anyone not to realize that conservativism is really one of the most sinister and horrible monsters creations that humankind has ever brought forth again fairly certifies how stupid America has become.

Child mortality Statistics:

  • 780,000 children die every month
  • 26,000 children die every day
  • 18 children die every minute

An estimated 9.2 million children under the age of five will die this year – nearly 26,000 per day or 18 every minute. This is greater than the annual number of deaths from 1. AIDS (2 million), malaria (900,000), and tuberculosis (1.5 million) combined. 2. Neonatal disorders, pneumonia and diarrhea are the major causes of under-five mortality.

Globally, 80 percent of all child deaths are due to only a handful of causes: neonatal causes, pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. 3. Pneumonia or sepsis, pre-term delivery, and asphyxia at birth are the leading causes of neonatal deaths. Malnutrition is responsible for over a third of child deaths.

Not one single penny that the pro-life movement spends on their so-called pro-life movement goes toward saving any of these “living” children’s lives. Not one single cent. Which means that the pro-life movement is not pro-life at all. Because their money is “not” going to save any living life on this planet. Their money is only going toward forcing women to bear children against their will. And that’s not how their own God, Jesus Christ defines pro-life.

With 78% of the population of the United States being Christian, (US Religious Demographic Statistics ) that also means that 78% of all the:

incidents that take place every year, are committed by approximately 78% of the population, meaning people who claim to be Christians. (US Religious Demographic Statistics ). And that is something that the Christian conservatives , and those who are Catholics, do not want to discuss, or admit to. However, since 78% of the population is Christian, or claiming to be so. That then means that the above numbers are … true. And that one single fact of the matter, pretty much certifies that when the Christian conservatives are claiming to be pro-life, they are obviously NOT TALKING ABOUT be pro-life when it comes to the lives of these children. Because if they were, then these numbers would not exist, in the manner that they do.

It’s all about being responsible and taking responsibility for one’s free-will choices and free-will actions that one makes.

For the record, I am pro-life . I do not support violence against, or the killing of any human being under any circumstances! And the only way that I ever deviate from that stand is that I do not believe that God has ever given any human the right to dictate to any woman how she is to arbitrate her life with the Almighty, and/or God . Therefore, I believe that all women deserve the right to choose for themselves the fate of their own bodies, pursuant to their relationship with the Almighty, and/or God . My position regarding this statement is more fully explained in my article entitled: Second Gear.
