Big Pharma's sinister collusion with Government.
I personally think that pharmaceutical corporations are working together with state provided psychiatric institutions for economic exploitation of patients to drain money from their public insurance providers.
Most psychiatric patients receive Medicaid due to their mental incapacity to engage in consistent work, as many studies detail the vast unemployment that is common among the mentally ill.
I for one have been a victim of the entire mental healthcare system, as I was erroneously diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and multiple psychotic disorders after I was removed from my mother's household following her improper parental style.
My first diagnosis as a child was Autism, which I believe I have.
After being removed from my mother's household and moved to a group home, I was falsely diagnosed with other psychological disorders, like Oppositional Defiant Disorder, which is ridiculous considering I was very agreeable as a child, and wrongly prescribed psychiatric drugs, which has left me with permanent neurological side effects that I will discuss later.
Retrospectively cogitating about my egregious abuse under group homes, I understand the reason why I was constantly prescribed inappropriate medications that I didn't need, in which these medications overwhelmingly gave me horrendous side effects, like aphasia and slurred speech.
We have a totally aberrant healthcare system in America and incessant price gouging of medicine is universal (price gouging is common because of something called inelastic demand- when patients desperately need treatment for serious illnesses, big pharma jacks up prices to make a hefty profit at the expense of draining resources and raising the risk of complications for patients. This is no better than a psychopath hoarding bottles of water and food before a natural disaster, and drastically inflating price of water and food to make a profit at the expense of starving his community). Price gouging in our healthcare system not only harms our patient's health, but in a sense it's a corporate version of welfare fraud, as these pharmaceutical corporations are draining funds from Medicaid and Medicare through their sinister practice of telling hospitals and insurance providers the true cost of drugs.
Another immoral practice that is being perpetuated in our healthcare system is a concept called a fee-for-service healthcare system. This healthcare system operates by providing gratuitous treatment, like tests and unnecessary medication to patients who don't need such treatment. This runs the enormous risk of stifling innovative analysis to understand the full impact treatments are having on a patient, and although it also increases the odds of medical malpractice, it leads to additional cost rises for state operated insurance providers like Medicaid and Medicare, in which taxpayer money is being funneled to the elites, like Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer.
Most Americans don't realize the egregious impact this is having on our healthcare system. This lack of price control is harming the sustainability of our healthcare system and leading to further crony capitalism at the expense of taxpayers losing their money. Instead of welfare fraud in which people abuse the system to get more unemployment insurance and food stamps, which is also a terrible thing in America, corporate welfare is another serious problem that needs to be discussed.
To further compound this issue of corporate welfare fraud is how Big pharma provided grants and stipends to psychiatrists who falsely diagnose patients and overly prescribe medications so Big Pharma, psychiatrists, private psychiatric hospitals can all get money from state-provided insurance.
I was reading an interesting study how in America people die more from doctors and medical malpractice than they do from a lack of health insurance, and this goes back to our fee-for-service healthcare system and its collusion with government.
Here's a study showing that 45,000 people die from a lack of healthcare: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-to-lack-of-health-coverage/
And here's a study showing how many people die from medical malpractice: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/781687-john-james-a-new-evidence-based-estimate-of.html#document/p1/a117333
210,000 people (a lower limit) die from medical malpractice and 45,000 people die from a lack of health insurance. Something tells me that our healthcare system needs adjustment and Big Pharma needs to stop colluding with government by providing unncessary treatments for more insurance money.
