I just read a story of a woman that sued her employer to cover her $30,000 neurosurgery bill for carpal tunnel syndrome.
I also just heard former senator Bill Bradley on Bill Maher’s show unite Democrats and Republicans behind universal healthcare. He said the big problem would require a combination of collective efforts and individual responsibility.
As for my comments: I feel that alternative medicine can reduce a lot of traditional medical costs. Take this woman with carpel tunnel syndrome. I would not be surprised if she had not investigated an ergonomic keyboard, mouse, and chair. I also doubt that she tried massage therapy, acupuncture, and some movement class such as yoga or group movement.
I feel that there are a lot of people that are against universal healthcare because of money reasons. But, I believe that these people would embrace the money saving aspect of alternative medicine. And this would be a huge step in and of itself!
