Health Care Unaffordable Because of Undeclared War

The bottom line about universal health care coverage is that if the American people were healthy to begin with, their health care and insurance costs would be much lower and it would be much easier for them to acquire universal health care coverage. This is because it goes without saying that healthy people do not need a visit to the doctor, nor do they require expensive medical tests and examinations or monthly check ups that all lead to the rise in health care costs. There are a few things that Americans must do to reduce their health care costs to naught.  Read more about Reaching Doctors And Patients Through New Digital Media: eHealth Insight Series

The first thing Americans need to do in order to reduce their health care costs is to ensure that their diets only comprise of high quality foods. It is a known fact that health is found in good nutrition from the foods that we eat. We should avoid the nutritionally depleted foods that are factory farm-produced in starved soils and via harmful farming methods. These nutritionally depleted foods also tend to be made with a lot of pesticides or from genetically modified seeds. The only way Americans can aim to reduce their health care costs is by only indulging in clean nutritious diets.

It is noteworthy that when American household diets comprised of unprocessed whole foods grown and produced on family farms, the rates of diseases were significantly less than today, and the costs of health care were also a fraction of their current levels. Americans can directly reduce their costs of health care by only buying high quality whole foods which are organically grown on the local smaller farms or even in their own back yards.

Another way to reduce the costs of health care would be by making health promoting food available for everyone. The access to nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables is important in ensuring good health across the population, as well as cutting down on the costs of healthcare. What this essentially means is that all American people must be paid salaries that enable them to afford health promoting foods. Low wages will result in households living off cheap processed carbohydrates with low or no nutritional value as they cannot afford anything better. Expectedly, this then leads to the need for health insurance and rising health care costs.

Another way to ensure the reduction of the costs of health care is by ensuring that all Americans have access to clean, safe water, which also a basic human right. The water we drink must not therefore be contaminated with fluoride or any other harmful contaminants.
