In this exclusive, unedited interview, Steven Brill explains the large discrepancy between what hospitals charge and what medical services actually cost.
It is so true! I am lucky now though to have come across a physician who is a minimalist where intervention is concerned as opposed one who is eager to refer me to a specialist who turns out to be a friend or relative of his....
This price gauging is the ONLY reason we can't have universal healthcare! It's not that we can't afford decent healthcare for all, the entire system is out of control and needs to be reigned in.
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.
