Call It What It Is.

IT IS NOT ABOUT HEALTH CARE. The term "health care" is erroneously used in the political and legislative agendas. The intention should be called what it is -- medical treatment and the payment for such treatment. Facilities and professionals are likewise mis-labeled as "health care" providers. Hospitals and doctors provide medical related treatment not health care. Individuals and families are essentially responsible for their "health care". Health care is what people do for themselves. No law or professional can really provide health care. Life style determines the care of a person's health. Health care can be reduced to how a you go about your daily living -- what you eat, how you exercise, how you think, and the daily practices of caring for yourself and your family. Promoting "health care" at a public level will have to be based on incentives. (More on that.)
