#preventativemedicalcare Yesterday morning, Elena and I gave a stool sample for our Cologuard kits provided by Kaiser Permanente. Our kits will go to a laboratory. Genetic tests will be run to see if we have colon cancer. The test is not perfect, but it is pretty good.
For thousands of years, people all over the world went to the doctor when they were feeling ill. In the 1990s, Dr. Robert Pearl became the CEO of The Permanente Medical Group. He came up with a new idea for treatment. It would make life better for the patient and cut healthcare costs at the same time. The patient would visit their primary care physician once a year. A physical examination would be performed. The patient would be sent to a laboratory where blood would be drawn, and a urine sample taken. Problems would be detected while they were small and treated. For example, if a patient's blood sugar was getting high and the patient was not yet diabetic, diet and exercise would be recommended to reduce the blood sugar level. Cholesterol and triglycerides would be monitored. A patient would be put on medications if these measures were out of normal areas. This would save a lot of patients from heart attacks and other cardiac problems. I have no doubt that I would have had a heart attack by now had I not been getting this treatment.

Obamacare put an end to preventative care and cancer screenings.
They weaponized Colonoscopies, and Insurance only pays for them, if you're situation matches up with their pay matrix.
Basically no matter how urgently your Doctor requested a colonoscopy, the insurance company only covers screening for those over 60. It went up from 50.
And before that if you Doctor referred you to get a Colonoscopy to help diagnose stuff like Gastritis, and other Gastric and Intestinal issues not Cancer related, used to be covered by Insurance, but not after Obamacare. We had to lay about $3200 when my wife was referred to a Colonoscopy because of her medical issues she was having in 2013.
The Insurance company told us, "You should have called to see if it was covered!"

I mean it was Obamacare, it was supposed to save the world and help little puppies not get drowned in a bag tossed out of a window from a van down by the river.
Why in the fuck would we call the insurance company to ask if we can get the medical attention that our Doctor recommended?

I was less suprised than most, how our Medical system handled Covid. There's policy was "Kill them all, let the CDC reimbursements sort them all out!"

Ah, this is the pay-off of this Annual Physical scam. Get them on a permanent 'medication'.

Studies reviewed at Harvard imply that it is all unhelpful to the suckers, err... 'patients':
"But what are the true benefits of this practice? Careful reviews of several large studies have shown that these annual visits *don’t make any difference in health outcomes*. In other words, being seen by your doctor once a year won’t necessarily keep you from getting sick, or even help you live longer. And some of the components of an annual visit may actually cause harm. For example, lab tests and exams that are ordered for healthy patients (as opposed to people with symptoms or known illnesses) are statistically more likely to be “false positives” — that is, when test results suggest a problem that doesn’t exist."

First of all, this is not prevention, since it's checking if you're already sick. Prevention means you never get sick.

This is not novel in any way. Before Rockefeller bought the AMA America had a large number of health practitioner's across a wide spectrum of disciplines. Some of which certainly encouraged routine visits. Again, because you're couching your standards within Rockefeller's sickcare paradigm, your knowledge and standards are lacking.

Perfect example of sickcare treatment, NOT prevention. Examine once specific area of the body, without checking it against the rest of their health, and offer lab patented pills that will certainly have negative impacts on other areas of their body, causing them to require mores visits, more pills, etc.

@ohomen171 I strongly suggest you do do some more research when it comes to your personal health. The formula you outline here is exactly what has created the sickest generation in human history where a plague was not involved.
