In the current healthcare debate, primary focus is on the undue influence of health insurance companies. But we should be just as focused on the undue influence of pharmaceutical companies.

Every time a doctor makes a diagnosis, patients should be guaranteed information regarding nonsurgical or non-pharmaceutical remedies statistically proven to be equally efficacious. And Insurance should have to cover those at the same rate.

In the last debate Senator Sanders did stress the influence of big pharma on the cost of healthcare and life saving drugs like insulin. He understands the stress of life on the middle class and has a great record of always being on that same side. #Bernie2020

Focus on increasing the SUPPLY of healthcare. That will drive down cost EVERY TIME. My suggestion is a government bank to provide public/private funding to drive greater supply of all kinds of health care.

We did this. 7 states. Commercial and Medicare. HUGE SUCCESS!!! Lower costs. Improved outcomes. Higher satisfaction for patients and providers. It's called shared decision making and it's proved to work.

So in tandem the judicial system will need major overhaul. Docs are terrified of being sued for not administering tests or intervening surgically or with meds.

The problem with this is the people promoting the non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical remedies are IGNORING the statistics telling the people you can't believe it because the statsare doctored. Totally false.
