US Health Care System – A Disease Management System

March 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment

The US does not have a health care system; we have a disease-management system that is dependent on expensive drugs and invasive surgeries.

Head over and read Its Time To Change American Disease Management Into A Health Fostering System by Dr Mercola.

Dr Mercola recently produced a documentary on disease management and what it means to us, airing on CNN in early March, watch the trailer:
