Is The Fox Guarding The Henhouse?

About WebMD

WebMD Health Corp. (Nasdaq: WBMD) is the leading provider of health information services, serving consumers, physicians, healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through our public and private online portals and health-focused publications. WebMD is a subsidiary of Emdeon Corporation (Nasdaq: HLTH). The WebMD Health Network reaches approximately 30 million visitors a month through its leading owned and operated health sites that include WebMD Health, Medscape, MedicineNet, eMedicine, eMedicine Health, RxList and theheart.org.

The National Dairy Council's web site states that "American milk and dairy products are among the safest and most highly regulated foods in the world" and that milk from hormone-treated cows has repeatedly been shown to be "safe for human consumption."

A farmer who would like to convert his farm to organic produce only would have to come up with nearly $20,000 dollars for an average size farm which would be smaller than a conventional farm.
The cost comes from regulatory licensing paid to the federal government. Don't you think the Federal government should subsidize farmers who want to grow whole foods? Why do they make it so expensive for farmers to provide Americans with what is clearly a healthier choice? No hormones or pesticides and genetically altered vegetables would find their way onto the shelves of your local supermarkets. And why are conventional farms (users of pesticides, chemicals, genetically altered produce) heavily subsidized by the government, using our tax-dollars? Shouldn't these federal agencies be looking out for us?
The National Dairy Council is comprised of government employees that tell you of studies done showing milk from hormone-treated cows is safe for human consumption.

Webmd is 85% owned by Emdeon Corporation.
This mission statement is taken from the home-page of their website.

"Our mission is to provide revenue cycle and clinical communication solutions that simplify the business and improve the delivery of healthcare. Our solutions are designed to provide providers, payers, and patients not only with connectivity, but also the information and data necessary to:"

Improve patient collections
Insure rapid, accurate payment processing
Increase effectiveness of the clinical encounter

Does this sound like a caring organization? Or does it sound like a company interested in their bottom line?

Every month the FDA is forced through tort litigation to list drugs that are causing multiple deaths. And every month more drugs are approved by this same FDA. They are shooting us with the gun and telling us where the bullets are coming from.
Things aren't right anymore in this country and it's only getting worse. The wrong people are in dangerous positions, all the way to the presidency, do not think things will improve. People need to educate themselves as to what is really going on around them. It isn't too late to make things better, but it's got to be up to the majority-and that's up to you and I.
Don't trust your government to do the right thing, they're too content to allow you to die. That's the truth.
