[HSF] Aortic Valve Stenosis and Carotid Stenosis

[Tea Acuff]

Articles like these are common. They "prove" what they advocate. Left or social (the equality equivalent of liberalism) is good; America (the liberty equivalent of liberalism) is bad.

This article would suggest that the reason other  countries have better 
health outcomes is not because they avoid seeing doctors  but quite the opposite, 
that is the universal availability to see doctors more  regularly which results 
in a higher rate of health maintenance, rather than  costly and ineffective 
care for late stage sickness.  To suggest staying  away from the medical system 
is the key to better health is nonsense and our  growing population of 
uninsured who lack access to routine healthcare reflects  our systems declining 
success in promoting a healthy, long living  population.  
    A highly industrialized country, like the United  States, with poor diets 
laced with highly processed foods of little nutritional  value and an 
increasingly sedentary lifestyle resulting in an epidemic  of obesity, diabetes, 
hypertension, and atherosclerosis, to name just a few  deleterious consequences of 
"prosperity", probably needs MORE regular  medical attention, advice and 
counseling rather than the remarkable decline we  are currently seeing with 
obvious negative public health consequences due to the  growing masses of uninsured.
