Fortifying Sovereign American Citizens with Common Sense, Liberty & Freedom
A vast and unaccountable bureaucratic boondoggle has developed, significantly intervening in our healthcare for more than a century. The detrimental actions of the government have led to unaffordable healthcare for an increasingly frail and ill population in the United States.
Our ineffective healthcare system ranks among the most heavily regulated sectors in the economy. Government entities play a crucial role in various aspects, including drug research and production, the training and licensing of healthcare professionals, the construction of hospitals, the provision of health insurance, the design of insurance plans, and the convoluted payment processes.
Programs like Medicare and Medicaid have contributed to a shortage of healthcare services due to a rising demand, while the government has maintained an artificially low supply of medical services. The substantial influx of tax dollars into the healthcare system has driven up demand, leading to a dramatic increase in healthcare costs. In essence, government involvement has generated immense demand for healthcare that has outstripped the available supply.
With the continuous rise in healthcare prices, an increasing number of people are unable to afford necessary medical care, resulting in a heightened demand for government assistance. This vicious cycle not only escalates demand but also accelerates price increases, fostering greater reliance on government insurance. The healthcare industry in the United States has become a substantial profit-making operation, plagued by corruption and greed, leaving millions of American families in a state of fear concerning health issues and diseases.
The “healthcare” system overseen by the government has primarily been a mechanism for channeling large sums of money to healthcare providers, pharmaceutical firms, hospitals, federal health agencies, and insurance companies. This has resulted in a significant number of doctors, lawyers, and executives in the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries becoming multi-millionaires. In the process, the access of everyday citizens to quality healthcare has been adversely affected and greatly diminished.
Subsequently, the introduction of Barry Hussein Obama’s controversial (UN)Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” significantly bolstered this extensive government healthcare initiative. Unfortunately, the (UN)Affordable Care Act has exacerbated the affordability of care by increasing healthcare costs and worsening shortages. Since the enactment of this legislation, the annual profits of the five largest health insurance companies in the United States have surged by 230 percent.
Unfortunately, and perhaps predictably, the introduction of government subsidies and interventions in the healthcare system has significantly compromised the quality of care. As a result, American citizens are now experiencing poorer health outcomes than they did prior to government involvement in this chaotic and mismanaged healthcare system.
The disordered tax code and the dysfunctional health insurance market favor providers while obstructing real competition. Consequently, it is often futile for individuals to seek a different provider after their claims have been unfairly denied for numerous questionable reasons. This ineffective system, which appears to prioritize keeping individuals ill and dependent, is largely the result of government politicians and bureaucrats, who maintain a broken “healthcare” system that compels continuous financial contributions from the public.
On average, individuals in the U.S. spend $14,570 annually on “healthcare,” a sum that is about twice that of other similar countries. This extensive financial investment has resulted in Americans being among the most unhealthy populations on the planet, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the current “healthcare system.”
Moreover, the issue of Medicare and Medicaid fraud in the U.S. is both substantial and financially burdensome. The National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association estimates that taxpayers are losing more than $100 billion annually due to fraud in these programs, with some investigators arguing that the actual losses may be significantly higher.
Examine these alarming and disturbing figures concerning National Health Expenditures (NHE):
- NHE grew 7.5% to $4.9 trillion in 2023, or $14,570 per person, and accounted for 17.6% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- Surveys found that U.S. households have piled up more than $220 Billion in medical debt.
- The average family premium for employer-sponsored health insurance in the United States has skyrocketed to $25,572 annually.
- Medicare and Medicaid accounted for $1.9015 Trillion in 2023 or 39% of total NHE.
- In 2023, the six largest health insurance companies in the United States had combined revenues of almost $1.1 Trillion.
The unchecked government-healthcare system is progressively siphoning off America’s resources, diverting funds from other initiatives that could significantly enhance the health and quality of life for American citizens.

The account that follows offers a disconcerting and revealing insight from an exasperated American citizen who has faced the challenges of an overly expensive and largely ineffective medical and Medicare framework:
I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis for a number of years. In early 2018, I noticed an issue with my right hip, which presented as persistent pain and stiffness that did not resolve and progressively worsened. I initially thought it was a minor strain that would improve with time, but it did not.
In 2019, I opted to seek medical advice and underwent x-rays conducted by an orthopedic surgeon. He informed me, “you are an excellent candidate for total hip replacement surgery,” as if I had received fortunate news. The surgeon recommended cortisone injections to alleviate the pain and stiffness, which provided relief for approximately four to five months. Unfortunately, the discomfort and rigidity returned, even more severe than prior to the cortisone treatment. I later discovered that these injections merely conceal the underlying issue and can actually lead to further deterioration of the joint and surrounding tissues, which is concerning. Therefore, I decided against receiving any more cortisone shots due to their harmful and degrading effects.
Reluctant to undergo an invasive total hip replacement surgery, I endured the pain, stiffness, and debilitating consequences of osteoarthritis for the following years, hoping that an increased intake of supplements and ibuprofen would alleviate my suffering. Eventually, the discomfort escalated to a level that severely disrupted my sleep due to the persistent, throbbing pain.
In early 2022, I decided to obtain a second opinion from another orthopedic surgeon, who confirmed the previous recommendation for surgery to resolve the issue. I was inclined to proceed with the surgery and move on. However, I had heard of others who had undergone this invasive procedure and encountered complications that required further surgeries. Moreover, artificial joints have a limited lifespan, necessitating replacement approximately every 10 to 15 years, along with the associated risks of infection and other complications that may arise from the surgery itself.
In light of the limited information available in the healthcare field, I took it upon myself to research further and came across stem-cell treatments that might offer a solution. I found a compassionate orthopedic doctor who specialized in stem-cell injections, which are believed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process. The doctor indicated that I could experience relief for as long as ten years. As a result, I received injections in both of my hips and my lower back, which was severely affected by disk degeneration. Although the injections were not pleasant, they significantly improved my hip condition for about a year and seem to have provided lasting relief for my lower back problems. This was a tremendous relief.
For the next two years, I continued with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, which offered relief that appeared to compound the positive effects of the previous stem cell injections.
The primary concern regarding these advantageous injections is their considerable expense, which is not reimbursed by my Medicare insurance because they are deemed “experimental.” It appears that the Medicare and healthcare system is attempting to steer me towards a total hip-replacement surgery that costs over $60,000, rather than allowing for the much lower cost of a $1,200 injection.
My ongoing research led me to learn about PEMF technology, which intrigued me because of its ability to promote the body’s self-healing capabilities when utilized alongside suitable procedures and nutrition.
As I continued my research, I found several companies offering this remarkable PEMF technology. I finally chose a specific machine from Sentient-Light that I thought would be the best fit for my rehabilitation and the potential recovery of my damaged hips. After just a couple of weeks of using the PEMF machine, I saw a significant reduction in pain and stiffness in my injured right hip and lower back. I also started sleeping much better due to the pain relief, which is really important for healing. Plus, I feel like I’ve gotten stronger and can handle the physical stress on my bones and joints better, and I’ve noticed more strength in my hip, which makes walking up hills and on uneven ground much easier.
I’ve been fortunate that PEMF technology has kept me from needing a total hip replacement, which is not only expensive but also comes with risks. Unfortunately, Medicare doesn’t currently recognize this fantastic technology. They don’t cover any alternative treatments like stem cell therapy, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid, or PEMF, which could help people avoid major surgeries. It’s ridiculous that this policy is still in place, and it should definitely be updated to allow access to more cost-effective and efficient alternatives.
Even though these affordable alternative technologies can provide great benefits at a fraction of the price of surgery, they remain largely under the radar and are mostly excluded from the medical and Medicare systems. Often, these helpful technologies aren’t covered at all, or only a tiny portion of their costs is reimbursed.
As an example, I underwent PRP injections in my hip, which cost me $1200. The doctor chose not to engage with Medicare for understandable reasons, which forced me to submit a claim on my own to seek reimbursement for my out-of-pocket expenses. After eight long months filled with frustrating communication with my Medicare provider and filing multiple claims through the slow and often unreliable US Postal Service—some of which were mysteriously lost—I finally received a check for $78. I had informed them numerous times that I had saved them at least $60,000, not to mention the expenses related to therapy and recovery from my hip replacement surgery. Unfortunately, it became apparent that my efforts were ignored, and my concerns were not taken seriously.
It’s disheartening to realize that the waste, fraud, and abuse within the medical and Medicare system are likely to persist without any intervention. Who am I to question this out-of-control healthcare system? I’ve observed that health insurance companies frequently use tactics to delay and deny payments they should be making. On top of that, this crazy system appears to be set up to funnel people into expensive and invasive surgeries that may not be necessary or the best fit for their needs.
In my experience with this outdated medical and Medicare system, it feels like it’s more about keeping people sick and reliant on a flawed, corrupt bureaucratic healthcare and insurance system than about promoting health. The relationship between doctors and patients has been completely compromised by this overly complicated system. For individuals, it’s nearly impossible to find their way through this mess and stay healthy. It’s a frustrating and sad reality that wastes a lot of time and money, and it definitely needs a complete overhaul to truly support health.

Folks, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
The Crime of the Millennium is still in progress and has been effectively hidden by the collaboration between government, medical sectors, and the media. This has led to a situation where numerous people are either in denial or completely unaware of the extensive, coordinated malevolence that was unleashed upon them at an astonishing pace in 2020.
In 2020, the situation worsened as this tainted “healthcare complex” allied itself with government entities and propagandist media to instill Covid-19 plan-demic hysteria in unsuspecting individuals globally. The unfounded fear and panic stemming from the disinformation and blatant lies propagated by this criminal organization were sufficient to coerce many into receiving these Covid-19 injections, which are mischaracterized as vaccines but are actually gene-modifying mRNA injections, which should be referred to as “killer clot shots”. The millions, potentially billions, of individuals who accepted these injections have either already passed away or are now suffering from lasting injuries. The long-term effects of these injections have resulted in a surge of various severe health issues, including aggressive cancers, heart conditions, blood clots, strokes, numerous autoimmune disorders, cognitive dysfunction, infertility, and a range of other health problems that have significantly reduced their lifespan.
A legislative proposal in South Carolina aims to ban specific mRNA products and establish severe penalties for those who violate this prohibition.
The bill asserts, “Synthetic messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based gene therapies, including the COVID-19 vaccine, have resulted in a significant number of fatalities, disabilities, and various serious adverse effects.”
This unaccountable, bureaucratically-managed healthcare system has eroded the fundamental trust in the doctor-patient relationship, resulting in a convoluted administrative nightmare that primarily serves to deteriorate public health and foster increased reliance on this corrupt, ineffective system.
Undoubtedly, the intolerable waste, fraud, and abuse directed at American Citizens by this absurd “managed death care” system must end, and it must end very soon.
In conclusion, this current massive, expensive and feeble government-healthcare system is completely broken and requires a total overhaul. A significant step towards this goal would involve removing much of the feckless government influence over our healthcare system.
