A healthy population depends on a healthy environment. How can the environment be healthy when crops are being sprayed with toxic chemicals, weapons are being manufactured with nuclear material, we are not told the dangers of EMFs, pollutants of all stripes are being dumped indiscriminately in waterways and the ocean, “healthcare” relies on pharmaceuticals, toxins are in everything we eat and use on our bodies, we continue to buy into economic growth, etc.? In order for real change to occur, we have to assess root causes, not just tinker with the system. (And, of course, corporations and agribusiness will deny, lie, and fight like hell to maintain themselves.)

Hi Taera, thank you for being an advocate for better healthcare. My wife and I grew up as engineers and mathematicians and there is no substitute for a system designed to solve a problem. What we have is a patchwork collection of bandaids. It would be nearly statistically impossible for it to work correctly.

As I got older, I began to wonder if the system(s) was patchwork by chance….or by design.
