Are the new reforms on healthcare really reforming the way we respond to health and imbalance? Are these reforms truly making anyone healthier?

No one can deny that the healthcare issue is a serious debate, and yet what many are failing to mention is the fact that any form of healthcare reform is destined to fail, due to the inherent lack of focus on prevention and the root cause of disease. The current model in Washington takes a narrow approach, focusing mainly on one problem: the current cost and exclusivity of healthcare.

What is more, Obama’s health team is still jumping on the bandwagon of chemically-based drugs, as well as harmful antibiotics and vaccines, encouraging drug companies to reduce their prices so that more and more Americans can consume these drugs. These drugs are the cause of disease and only cover up the symptoms and never address the root cause!

Moreover, the current healthcare bill is painfully focused on appeasing the interests of the big business model of healthcare, including special interest groups and the very pharmaceutical companies that are doing more harm than good to the average American.

Some may even consider the fact that since the current chemical-based model of medicine does not treat the root-causes of disease (for example, improper digestion and elimination, leading to chronic toxicity), this so-called healthcare system is actually designed to keep people lined up at the doctor’s office.

Without a clear understanding of the root causes of disease, unfortunately, any new healthcare reform is missing the main point. On a whole, there are some 48 million Americans who lack healthcare coverage. Simply offering these individuals access to medical care is not enough. Oftentimes, the same individuals who lack decent healthcare coverage are the very individuals most prone to chronic, lifestyle-based disease issues.

Imagine a world where you need a doctor’s prescription (and thus, health insurance), to buy your every-day organic health supplements.

Imagine a world where some of your most-trusted vitamins and supplements are not even on the market!

If this sounds like a bad scene from Big Brother, think again. Our government may be advancing towards giving more and more power to the Codex Alimentarius trade commission, an organization created to limit and control the freedom to buy every day supplements, vitamins, minerals, and even organic foods.

It seems the White House may be “going green,” as First Lady, Michelle Obama, has started planting the first presidential vegetable garden since Eleanor Roosevelt’s World War II victory garden. I really hope that much of the pressure from organic food and sustainable agriculture proponents has finally been given a sounding board, as the new administration lends an ear towards the movements.

In the last fifty years, America has proven itself as a country able to perfect the art of making cheap, chemically-laden and genetically modified food. And while this food may produce large profits for big American agribusiness and pharmaceutical companies, sadly for all of us, this same food is also causing disease for the people.

It fills our bodies with toxins, and puts a massive strain on our global environment. Similarly, government subsidies have typically been handed out to farmers producing mono-crops, requiring large amounts of fossil fuel and fertilizers to grow and distribute. Mono-crops are also over-produced, leading to heavy surpluses of harmful foods such as high-fructose corn syrup and hormonally-altered soy beans.

The Obama Family Garden

The Obama’s family garden is a move in a different direction from that American reality. It encourages all Americans to look at creating their own locally-grown, organic garden.

While economic, security and environmental concerns should be of pivotal importance to our new president and his administration, health care may be the single most crucial area of public concern.

According to that old adage, “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything,” health care must be a priority focus if we are to advance as a country and as human beings in a sustainable, life-affirming way.

The current health care system is wrought with problems. From the high cost of insurance premiums, to the method of treating symptoms rather than the root cause of the illness, Americans are struggling to stay healthy within a system that may be keeping them sick!

The American people need healthcare changes that allow them to embody wellness, instead of the current program which only treats emergency issues that are usually the result of a chronic condition left untreated, or simply unnoticed.

The following article will offer Global Healing Center’s Top 5 List of Health Issues for president-elect Obama. It is our hope that the new administration will address some of the fundamental ways in which our healing modalities are accessed and organized.
