Limitations of current medicine

Exposing constraints of the current medical model

- BRYAN ARDIS

THIS is a question that comes up for every [cancer] patient - truly where we've missed the mark is in three primary areas.

First, I think health insurance has destroyed our health-care systems in America. I think it has stripped the rights of medical professionals and healthcare professionals in every single spherefrom being able to honestly and ethically practise medicine and healthcare with their patients. And for any company who can actually tell a healthcare professional, 'we will not cover for this modality or this prescription medication or this therapy', I think that's evil, and it needs to be destroyed. I think the medical profession and healthcare professionals in the world know the history of their patients better than anyone else, and at the bedside, should be free to make the medical decisions as best as they can articulate and follow up on. So I think that self-insurance has been a huge problem.
