You are SO RIGHT!!! I absolutely hate the health insurance racket. I just insisted my husband drop me from his insurance because they ream us for several hundred dollars a month because I am a 'woman', and none of the alternative or preventive treatments I seek are covered. And even if I got sick, I definitely wouldn't go to one of their network of poison-pushers anyway! I would seek out natural treatment that wouldn't be covered anyway. So what good is the insurance? Yes, the insurance industry is the key to the whole mess. They are absolutely in bed with the FDA, drug companies, and the conventional medical providers to prevent the average person from being able to seek natural treatments. Notice only the poison is paid for, and only from their hand-chosen conventional providers! If insurance would help people stay healthy instead of selling sickness, my how things would change! Thank you so much for your great comments! Oh My Goodness, you just hit my hot button!!!! You are SO RIGHT!!! I absolutely hate the health insurance racket.

Thank you for posting a thoughtful entry. eating organic and raw is more a matter of perspective and preparation - a different kind of style of life diet than the typical american way. as for your point about cost of medical bills and getting sick, etc. compared to the ongoing cost of eating "healthy"... well, insurance subsidizes the medical bill to support the "bad eating" habits. unfortunately, we can't get a 20% co-pay on organic and live foods! :( great idea about farmers markets (duh, didn't cross my mind - just relied on wholefoods and sprouts.com), bulk purchases, co-ops, and group buys... will factor the points you made above into my preparation for eating organic live foods! thanks for sharing your feedback, Christy!
