Brain Drain: Why Your Health Habits Matter

If Obamacare Stands, You Genuinely Need The NEWSS

by Michael D. Hume, M.S.

The American economy is like a patient with a horrible ailment – it’s had a trillion-dollar medical “reform” shoved down its throat. The patient, plagued by a lot of illnesses just before Obamacare, may well have survived anyway but now, the prognosis is fairly bleak.

There are plenty of factors about two-thirds of Americans want Obamacare repealed. It was rammed by way of with dubious parliamentary trickery. Despite being billed as a price reduction, the legislation in fact bloats government spending and will drive tax rates by means of the roof. It’s dishonest: regardless of promises to the contrary issued by lawmakers who didn’t have time to read the bill just before passing it, Obamacare contains a lot of nasty surprises, which includes federal funding for abortion. As I discussed in a prior post, it is already causing a harmful physician shortage. In short, it isn’t about “well being care reform,” it turns out to be all about government revenue and power.

Think about that it isn’t just talented doctors who’ll be de-motivated out of existence. From pharmaceuticals to medical devices to surgical procedures, all sorts of new cures will not be discovered that otherwise would’ve been. Why? Because, like all other forms of socialism, Obamacare eliminates the profit motive.

I have a brilliant young niece of whom I’m quite proud. She could take her pick of careers, and any university or academy will be thrilled to land her. Last I heard, she was thinking about a course of study and career in biomedical engineering. She’d be developing new technologies, new medical devices to solve some of the trickiest wellness difficulties.

Now, time was, smart children like my niece would be willing to take on such big challenges when they could be playing soccer or thinking about dating instead. But they’d endure the tough study, the all-nighters in the lab, all the dues-paying… due to the fact they’d have a chance to assist a lot of individuals and get RICH performing it.

She could still go into bio-med, but, as she is brilliant, I wouldn’t bet on it. All bio-med engineers will ultimately be working for the government, if this legislative monstrosity is left to stand. They’ll make the standard rate that a GS-whatever makes. And unless they invest money in some thing entirely unrelated, they’ll never get rich.

Again, how motivated is a person who punches a clock, compared with someone who can dream of a greater life? The difference is like night-and-day… or, if you will, like Soviet MASH-style meatball medicine and American wellness care of years gone by. It turns out the profit motive… the chance… the opportunity to strike it big… these are the things that made our medical system the greatest the world has ever identified.

That was prior to Obamacare.

I’m not saying the system was perfect just before. Far from it. I mean, look at how out-of-whack pharmaceuticals had turn into. New diseases from Restless Leg Syndrome to Acid Reflux suddenly bloomed under the advertising of designer drugs with frequently-horrific side effects. But there had been totally free-marketplace solutions that could’ve improved the world’s greatest medical system with out throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. Natural solutions were already competing effectively with dubious prescription drugs. But what will happen to the better solutions when smart individuals are no longer profit-motivated to create them?

The looming brain drain is only 1 of the scary aspects of our new “health care reform.” It’s only one reason your health habits matter, and you want to take personal responsibility for your own vitality now so that you could be less dependent on government medicine in the future. Begin with the five key daily habits I call The NEWSS: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sleep, and Supplements. Eat fresh foods and stop eating processed crap. Exercise at least five times a week, finding your heart rate up for at least 15 minutes. Drink two liters of water each and every day. Get eight hours of sleep. And take a very good multi-vitamin (I suggest an quickly-absorbed liquid nutraceutical).

Given that this dumbed-down system is going to in fact cost you a lot far more on your tax bill, you may well want to move now to protect your financial health, too. Start a company on the side to create a protected revenue stream from which you can’t be laid off. And get smart about the global conspiracy against wealth.

It is challenging to think our great medical system has turn into like a patient on life support. Unless we can reverse it, Obamacare will put the patient to sleep. That’s why you have to wake up now, and take personal responsibility for your own vitality.
