HEALTHCARE TYRANNY VS HEALTHCARE LIBERTY

I see no reason for people to lose their Constitutional rights just because they are in the hospital. This article is a result of my recent stay in the Wellspan Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Up until now, I've been blaming doctors for the problems with healthcare. While there are some doctors are part of the problems we face in healthcare, not all doctors are bad. I talked to a few and I got the impression that they do not like the direction medicine is going in this Country. One, I will call Doctor D. told me he had a a patient that need certain treatment, and he argued with insurance company about it. He said that the insurance company agreed the patient needed the treatment, but they just weren't going to pay for it. So, this doctor agreed with what I said that healthcare is not about taking care of people but it'a all about money. This is a doctor that has been practicing his craft for some time, and he has seen the changes through time. And he really doesn't like where we are today.
Nurses have to do what they are told if they want to keep their job, but some have let me know they don't like the way things are being done. Although, there are some nurses that are very tyrannical. I encountered one that wanted me to do something that I didn't want to do at the time. I made it plain that I did not want take a bath during visiting hours. Who knows who could have walked in during that time. Now some claimed to understand, but apparently that never made it to my chart. So this Nurse Rached yelled and screamed about how I have constantly refused, which was a lie. She put me through hell for about 20 minutes. Well, I had it, and left. Of course, I had to sign a paper saying I was leaving without being discharged. And that is a hospital cover our butt thing. In fact they have what is called Hospital Protocols that literally take away the freedom of patients, and they are all about hospitals covering their butts. In order not to be sued they create these protocols that prevents patients form being at liberty to say no.
Once a patient says, "I don't want that medicine," that should be the end of the issue, but no, they keep on hounding you about it. For example, I refused Insulin. I don't know how many times I had to explain why. I said that Insulin only manages the symptom, it doesn't cure the disease. I told them to cure the disease thay have to repair the Pancreas. They claim that can't be done. That's a bunch of bull. Modern Medicine doesn't want to cure, they want to continually treat which makes them more money. Then finally you die, perhaps from the treatment itself.
I will take medicines when my natural ways are not working. I went into the hospital because of severe fluid retention that caused me shortness of breath. I also had a very high blood pressure. They wanted to give me high blood pressure medication, which I refused. I believed that the high blood pressure was the result of the fluid retention. I told them, get the fluid down, and the blood pressure would come down as well. Guess what, I was right. My last blood pressure numbers were normal.
Big pharma, healthcare corporations, and hospital administrators do not like intelligent patients because we know what's going on.
One definition of "tyranny" is, "The oppressive or unjust use of power." Wellspan Good Samaritan Hospital has come up with protocols that do just that. And I am sure the same thing is happening throughout the Country. And by the way, one doctor told me it got worse under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
If ever we need the Healthcare Liberty Act, it's now. See about it here... line2016.freeforums.net/thread/324/healthcare-liberty-act
We need need to sweep this Country with the principles of Liberty, and to do that, we must vote Libertarian.
When I am President, I will push for Healthcare Liberty.
