Health care reform

I would like to reform the whole system and it does not have anything to do with health insurance directly.

• Make it mandatory for all physicians to attend classes in integrated medicine.
• Require all physicians to make alternatives a choice for each person.
• Insurance required to pay for supplements, as long as they come from a reputable company.
• No required training for physicians paid for by the drug companies.
• Require all physicians to read side effects to the patient when they order a drug or treatment.
• Go back to the old system in which all drug sales persons have to be trained pharmacist and all have to have training in alternative medications.

When I look at the medications of my friends and relatives, I am appalled to see that their symptoms are exactly the side effects of their medication and the physicians never take away the drug, just order another one. Case in point, a person with osteoporosis has been taking "the purple pill" for years, it is supposed to be a temporary fix, the antacids repress the HCL in your system and therefore you do not get the use of your supplements you take for bone health. We then have to be on expensive drugs and have fractured bones so the health care gets expensive.

For long term fix of the system has to start with training the Dr. and the public.
