Syke- og uførevesenet
Helsevesenets omtanke for helse er minimal; det arbeider kun med syke og uføre og er egentlig et syke- og uførevesen.
Nyvinninger innen diagnose- og behandlingsteknikk medfører at stadig fler blir erklært syke, og de påtvinges stadig fler og mer kostbare behandlinger.
Behandlingene faller i to kategorier:
Kjemikalier; medisin i alle former for enhver lidelse…
Kirurgi; det som ikke kan drepes med kjemikalier, må skjæres vekk…
Syke- og uførevesenet er butikk, der alle ledd skal gå med overskudd.
Den superprofitable medikamentindustrien skummer fløten av verdens sykevesener…

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)
“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.”
“Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.”
― Ivan Illich (1926-2002)
"Law has become a business. Health care has become a business. Unfortunately, politics has also become a business. That really undermines society."
“In all human societies, health and education have an intrinsic value: the ability to enjoy years of good health, like the ability to acquire knowledge and culture, is one of the fundamental purposes of civilization.”
"The function of protecting and developing health must rank even above that of restoring it when it is impaired."
― Hippocrates (460-370BC)
