There is much division over the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare).  Even the Supreme Court was divided 5 to 4 over just the constitutionality of the law.  And there is just as much division over whether the law is bad or good.  It’s about insurance coverage.  It’s about a lot of money.  It’s about the cost of health care and who will pay for it.

Here’s an example of how insurance works in our country.  A doctor knows that an insurance company reimburses only so much for a test, only the doctor may not know how much that is.  To be on the safe side, he charges a lot for the test, let’s say $800.  It turns out the insurance company only covers $600.  Then the doctor might turn around and tell the patient, “You still owe $200, but I’ll give you $100 discount if you agree to pay the other $100”.  The sad thing is that the test might not really cost very much to do, nowadays.

I know someone that bought a working cell phone at the store the other day for $10.  Ten dollars!  Remember when cell phones were the size of a brick and cost well over $1000?  Not anymore, not with today’s technology, manufacturing, and competition.  A test that might have cost $800 years ago might actually only cost around $10 now, and plenty of companies might be happy to do them for $80, after all, that’s still an 800% markup!

Our health care system’s “ways of doing things” has been built gradually over time and has been entrenched and reinforced by laws, regulations, companies, policies, and contracts.  Unfortunately, these “ways of doing things” have left many of you who are reading this newsletter without your needs being met.  In many cases, the insurance companies decide what they will or will not cover and consequently doctors decide what they will and will not do to try to help patients get better.  There are certain medical conditions that are not handled very well by our medical system…even when the solutions might be very inexpensive!  For example, our system tends not to work very well for chronic illnesses because health care expenses can really add up over long periods of time.  One way our system can avoid paying for the treatment of chronic illnesses is to not recognize them.

Consider Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome.  I say that 30-40% of the population would benefit from normalizing their low body temperatures with T3 therapy.  As you know, people with low body temperature have can have symptoms of fatigue, depression, migraines, panic attacks, trouble with fighting infections, asthma, increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease, blood sugar disorders, insomnia, decreased concentration and memory, and many other problems.  Many of these people incur tremendous health care costs especially when they are hospitalized.  Imagine if many of these people could begin enjoying good health simply by normalizing their body temperatures?  T3 is not very expensive!

If 30-40% of the normal population has low temperatures that would benefit from treatment, what percentage of chronically ill people might have low temperatures?  What if they were properly treated and a large percentage of them stopped being ill?  You might think that our system would be anxious to embrace such a possibility.  Unfortunately, that does not currently fall in their “ways of doing things.” That’s not how they’re currently making their money.  I wish it were different.

But it can be different for you.  I recommend that you get well and stay well.  Please consider getting T3 therapy you might need to normalize your low body temperature and consider taking great herbal supplements to help you support vibrant good health.  You’ll likely still need to buy health insurance, but it’s better to pay for health insurance and hopefully not need it than it is to feel terrible and on top of that have to pay for insurance that doesn’t help you get better.
