Medicaid for All
Majid Ali, M.D.
The late Senator Edward Kennedy struggled valiantly for his hope of “Medicare for All.” Everyone in a civilized society deserves good medical care. I consider that to be a human right. Everyone in a civilized society must also know and accept personal responsibility to achieve this societal goal. I do not know how well Senator Kennedy understood this.
America Is Not Rich Enough
In 2012, the United States spent $2.8 trillion dollars on its mostly disease maintenance system. I say with complete confidence that all Americans will not have good medical care under the prevailing drug model of healthcare even if the country could spend $5.6 trillion dollars a year. Needless to say the country is not wealthy enough to spend so much.
Medicaid for All
America, it seems to me, will not see Senator Kennedy’s dream come true. What the country will have will be “Medicaid for All.” Most American doctors do not accept Medicaid. The main reason for this: Medicaid doctors have to see 8 to 12 patients an hour to afford even one receptionist and one clinical assistant. They have only enough time for an individual patient to order lab tests and referral notes to send the patients to specialists. They do write drug prescriptions to continue drugs prescribed by the specialists. Most specialists except pathologists and radiologists, I might add, care for Medicacid patients differently (different in what way? I leave that to readers’ imagination).
Can the Kennedy Hope Be Realized?
Can the Kennedy hope be realized? Yes, but only if the country can make a serious effort to shift focus from Disease-Literacy to Healing-Literacy. It will not be easy. Those who enrich themselves from Disease-Literacy, Drug-Literacy, Lab Test-Literacy, and Procedure-Literacy will fight this shift tooth and nail. For individuals, there are paths of dependence. Healing-Literacy, by contrast, is a path of independent thinking—paths of learning, understanding, knowing, and healing.
Dr. Ali’s Course On Healing
To encourage and support those who wish to pursue the path of Healing-Literacy, I offer an 8-video self-learning course entitled “Dr. Ali’s Course on Healing.” It can be ordered as an easy download from http://www.aliacademy.org. I suggest you download the first four seminars of this course and view them twice (time for one view about 150 minutes). Pick some natural remedies described in each course and try them. Then download the remaining four seminars and view them twice, again choosing some natural remedies for testing. Finally, two weeks later, view all eight seminars a third time. My purpose in designing the Course was to be simple, practical, relevant, and scientifically correct.
