Now I give a shit

It used to be that Kadizzle pretty much did not give much thought to cancer.  Things changed.  Now, Kadizzle has prostate cancer.  In two days Kadizzle will be sliced and diced to have his prostate removed.  My, but things have changed.

Prior to this marvelous adventure Kadizzle knew our health care system was in deep trouble, but now it is even more evident and more relevant.  The simple truth is that many people are suffering and dying, not because they have to, but because we simply will not address some basic truths.  Watch the video posted below.  We can have a long conversation about this video.  People are dying needlessly because we do not share information in our medical system.  The refusal to digitize and share records is killing and making thousands suffer.

The same vested interest that do not want a decent national health care system, do not want shared or good medical records. Why?  Good records and shared records mean the fraud in they system instantly is found out.  Good records and shared information means you know what drugs work, what treatments work, and provide a host of useful information.  However, drug companies know they are selling you worthless drugs, doctors know they are doing questionable surgeries, radiologist know they are overcooking people, but they do not want you to know.

So what do they do?  The medical industry dreams up a phony scare about privacy. You can share information and remain anonymous.  I can let a computer data base know I am 63, I have high blood pressure,  I weigh 225lbs,  I have good cholesterol, but I don't need to let the computer know who I am.  Watch this video, and listen carefully.  About a third of us will get cancer.  You may suffer and die, because you did not think this video is important.  It was not that important to me three months ago.   A lot of people are dead right now because special interest groups do not want information shared.  Once you cross the line from an onlooker to a participant in the cancer adventure you will take this all more seriously.   The odds are one in three you will have cancer, so good luck ignoring this video
