Why NaturalNews opposes Obama's health care " reform " plan: a statement of

principles

(NaturalNews) Today's article on health care reform has stirred up an

unexpectedly vocal debate among NaturalNews readers about

health care reform. Some have expressed confusion over the NaturalNews position

on health care reform: Are we for it? Against it? Do

we support Obama? Do we support socialized medicine?

This article is intended to clarify our position. Ultimately, we here at

NaturalNews believe very strongly in three things relevant

to this debate:

#1) Natural medicine and the healing power of the human body and spirit.

#2) Personal liberty and the non-intervention of Big Government in our

day-to-day lives.

#3) Personal responsibility and free will to do what we wish with our own lives

as long as it does not involve harming others.

We are also firmly opposed to the pharmaceutical cartel, the highly corrupt and

ineffective health insurance industry and government

regulators like the FDA and FTC who continue to enforce this failed medical

monopoly upon the American people.

Based on these principles, we must maintain strong opposition to any plan --

from any President -- that would remove choice from

consumers and force people to pay their hard-earned money into a system that

financially supports precisely those institutions that

we oppose (Big Pharma, health insurance corporations, etc.).

In theory, I am personally a strong advocate of universal care, where every

person is covered under a single plan that's affordable

and efficient. But when that plan continues to focus on pushing pharmaceuticals

and surgery over nutrition and prevention, I cannot

in good conscience lend it my support. To do so would be a blatant violation of

my opposition to Big Pharma, vaccines and the health

freedom oppressions of the FDA and FTC.

While the current sick-care system operating in America today is clearly broken,

you cannot fix one failed system by mandating

another failed system. We agree that health care needs serious reform, and in

fact, I personally put together one of the most

innovative health care reform plans that has yet been proposed in America. It's

called the Health Revolution Petition, and you can

read its details here: www.HealthRevolutio nPetition. org

That petition, which is essentially a " hybrid socialized medicine solution, "

preserves freedom of choice, individual liberty, free

speech and personal responsibility while ending the tyranny of the FDA and the

medical monopolies being run in this country right

now by Big Pharma, cancer clinics, and other medical groups. It restores health

freedom to the People while requiring Americans to

take some measure of responsibility for their own health outcomes by

participating in their personal choices about where they spend

their health care dollars. That's why it has earned the endorsement of the Life

Extension Foundation and numerous health freedom

organizations, including Citizens for Health and American Association for Health

Freedom.

It is a universal care voucher system that allows the American people to spend

health care vouchers on anything that improves their

health: Dietary supplementation, herbal medicine, gym memberships, body

therapies or even conventional medicine, if they so choose.

It puts people back in control over their health care decisions rather than Big

Government.

Why Big Government can't run a successful health care system based on

pharmaceuticals

When it comes to health care reform, a government-run system that continues to

rely on pharmaceutical medicine, chemotherapy and

vaccinations is clearly headed for failure even before it gets off the ground.

It will only give us, as is popularly stated on the

'net, a system that has " all the efficiency of the Post Office, the compassion

of the IRS and the pricing structure of a Pentagon

toilet seat. "
