Ready for some scary healthcare statistics? - Americans spend more on healthcare every year that we do on educating our children or feeding ourselves.
- The current national cost of healthcare is $2.
6 trillion annually.
- At the same time, 45 million Americans have no health insurance.
- The cost of healthcare insurance is rising eight times faster than income.
Yikes! That's kind of scary right? I think so.
I never had health insurance until I turned 65, when the government gave me Medicare.
Although today I have access to the healthcare offered by Medicare, I try not to burden the national medical system for two reasons: 1.
It may not be there forever 2.
I am on my own healthcare reform program How to Conduct Your Own Healthcare Reform Program As a nutritional counselor and doctor of Chinese Medicine, I have always believed that we are each individually responsible for our own health.
True, if you get in a car wreck you might need to take advantage of an ambulance and the emergency room.
Aside from that, though, I have some healthcare principles that have kept me and my clients hale and hearty for many years (and as far from the ER as possible).
Does this give you some ideas for how you might create one for yourself?

- Prevention is better than cure.
- Eat live foods like blue-green algae to live longer.
- Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at dinner.
- Life is a feast -- drink in sunshine, savor the taste of love, live on the energy of a smile.
- Be happy -- all physical conditions are psychosomatic in the beginning.
- Make small improvements to your health regularly -- a small change in the present creates a larger change in the future.
- When it comes to healthcare reform, start with yourself and your family.
The rest will take care of itself.
