I believe there is a great need for education. Many approaches once dismissed as “quackery” are, in fact, legitimate—and have helped or even cured thousands. Over 55 years ago, while living in France, I was already reading books on natural remedies and learning about the dangers of fluoride and the importance of removing it from our water. Earthing, or grounding, which is gaining popularity today, was already well known 60 years ago. Yesterday, I heard a physician describe the “new” practice of waiting to cut a baby’s umbilical cord until it stops pulsating. Yet this is not new to me—my first child was born at home 41 years ago, and my midwife was already aware of this simple but powerful wisdom. I believe the entire medical curriculum needs to be scratched and rebuilt—from a foundation of truth, prevention, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.
Mr. Tucker, I am a follower and admirer of your work, but you are missing the mark by a mile! Until the general public sees these demonic, evil, sadistic people put in prison or to death, there will be no trust restored. I was not an antivaxxer until the covid PLANDEMIC opened my eyes!

That is the Big Pharma push to bypass drug distributors and retail pharmacist and sell directly to the patient. Letting AI control the scenario and have a corporate doctor approve the prescription and ship it directly to the patient.. Perk has opened the door to this process and it should be shut quickly! The average senior is on at least 6 to 9 meds and the drug interactions and the impact on the functioning of different organ systems are negative in many cases. The GLP1 weight loss injections are bonanza for those pushing it, and there is no real understanding of the long-term effects that are negative. When the drug is known to deplete muscle mass that includes the heart and that means a shorter lifespan. We are off the rails with the allopathic medicine model and it’s time to stop this nonsense.! I just reviewed the impact of multiple drugs on a senior friend and the drug interactions and impact
On her organ systems create a very fragile existence. Locked into pathic medicine model until the day she expires. Considering that the push for RNA is as strong as it was in 2021 says that we are going down the wrong road and it will not stop.!
The medical profiteers run the show and they have all kinds of games. They will play to keep it profitable.
I have been an insulin dependent, type 1, diabetic for 42 years and I have no 'disabilities' due to the diabetes. In fact, my doctors tell me they see no negative impacts related to my diabetes. I am blessed, but I have also worked hard at controlling my diabetes: exercise and good food choices have been staples in my life. But yet, I am considered high risk by insurance companies and my "fat, non-exercising" friends aren't considered high risk. Now, in my mid 60's, I want to look into HRT, but insurance won't pay for it. There's just no benefit to being healthy, oh wait, QUALITY of life. The choice is ours.
You hit the nail on the head. There is no profit to be made from healthy people. And you are right! It's up to us to take responsibility for our own health choices. Blaming the food and pharma industries accomplishes nothing. Education is the key.
BINGO! What a novel idea: being SELF responsible for ones SELF - rather than the nanny welfare state morass of bureaucratic rules and regulations - ever changing and ever MORE intrusive into the lives of EVERY human being by LAW.
Very sensible suggestions from Mr Jeffrey Tucker. I would add prohibition of direct 'consumer' advertising of pharmaceuticals to the list. (We are long overdue the reconsideration of the Citizens United decision.)
Dr. Malone’s suggestion of an incremental approach within the current system may be, practically, the way to go. But it is “swimming upstream” as the Affordable Care Act’s requirement for expensive digital recordkeeping systems has herded most doctors into being employees in larger business systems. My “Primary” is middle management, tasked with assigning revenue to specialists within her system. The specialists - I am told by one of them - are awarded “points” by management which encourage revenue-efficient procedures. And discourage attending to patients who challenge their chops as diagnosticians. I keep thinking: what a boring uncreative life for someone smart enough to get into medical school: crank out a billing every 15 minutes, get a reward. We shouldn’t be doing this to the people we depend on for medical expertise.
Very interesting. I think insurance companies have way too much control of what and when a doctor can order certain tests or procedures as well. I would applaud more functional medicine doctors that are covered by my insurance.
Your description for our medical ecosystem is perfect... "It’s a public-private-nonprofit-grifter-payola regulatory cacophony of confusion and chaos over which pharmaceutical companies and professional lobbyists exercise the dominant influence".
Through family I've seen just how bad it can be... and believe me it is bad. For now the only way to take care of yourself, and even that requires curiosity and money, is to learn enough to live in healthy ways and with money gain access to professionals who aren't hamstrung by Medicare or Insurance companies.
No matter what everyone thinks or believes about Mr. Tuckers article, as a veteran physician biller, his description of the fragmented processes are spot on. The only thing he missed in my humble opinion is the sequestration penalty all doctors still pay for each Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan payment.
This creates tons of additional work for office staff that doctors also pay for.
Obama care also created patient measure reporting that pays bonuses to doctors to report lifestyle issues annually.
Patients with few if any chronic disease must also be subjected to these prevention visits or be labeled Non compliant.
A total waste of taxpayer dollars for the healthy.
Many points to consider and I suspect somehow big Pharma and Health insurance companies would fight tooth and nail on each. If RFK and the others can show how corrupt the system has been and dismantle it from the inside changes will be much easier. 40% trust in our healthcare system isn’t something to be happy about and I doubt it’s going to be rising unless serious changes are made.
I don't trust the health system and find it interesting that you can see a "nurse practioner" and get charged the same as seeing a doctor. That right there tells me I don't need a doctor with an MD.
Our healthcare system is carefully designed to make as much $ for big pharma by treating conditions, but never curing them. Any increase in deaths is huge bonus. We're just cattle after all, and sometimes "they" feel the need to cull the herd.
As a health insurance broker, I support Jeffrey's recommendations regarding health insurance. The biggest hurdle is getting rid of the ACA straight jacket, which is entrenched by corrupt and powerful interests.
I am impressed! However, this prods out my mother bent. [My Mother, whenever she had the opportunity, was a severe smother lover. It was a feature I hated, but suspected I was likely to follow] Anyway, it has emerged.
In my lifetime I've met folks who for various reasons won't or can't step up to make needed decisions for themselves. They refuse to devote the time and effort to become an informed consumer. Hopefully their numbers are nominal. At this point we might assure more effort is directed toward teaching medical/well being as part of everyones education.. That said imo we need to consider the lower left part of the bell curve.
As for the adequately prepared:
2. Here we might also consider the merits of Doctor telemedicine. Educated questioning might lead to better decisions. On the other hand if the alternative would be nurses, pharmacists, et al - further training and/or job aids might enhance their skill set.
3 - 4. Insurance choices. I do like the designated savings account with interest idea. My impression is this is being offered on a yearly basis. I'd be in favor of its being ongoing. Many couple this with catastrophic coverage.
As always Mr Tucker comes up with very helpful insights and suggestions. Thanks so much for sharing these with us!

Not so mysteriously. Ask the actuaries.
#1 on my list is to stop all pharma advertising.
That in itself would go a long way towards the escalating drug prices.

Brandy, good for you! Does my heart good to hear of someone who acted independently on her own behalf & succeeded.

Good post!!

Thanks for this Dr. Malone.

For now the only way to take care of yourself, and even that requires curiosity and money, is to learn enough to live in healthy ways and with money gain access to professionals who aren't hamstrung by Medicare or Insurance companies.
… And I repeat from previous posts some time ago: Trust takes decades to establish and seconds to destroy!

It’s not insurance. It is Pre-Paid Healthcare. Like solar panels are pre-paid electricity.
Many points to consider and I suspect somehow big Pharma and Health insurance companies would fight tooth and nail on each. If RFK and the others can show how corrupt the system has been and dismantle it from the inside changes will be much easier. 40% trust in our healthcare system isn’t something to be happy about and I doubt it’s going to be rising unless serious changes are made.
I don't trust the health system and find it interesting that you can see a "nurse practioner" and get charged the same as seeing a doctor. That right there tells me I don't need a doctor with an MD.
I’ll take an NP any time. They spend much more time with you and tend to check on the whole as opposed to just the issue.
Or you are getting suboptimal care. Sorta depends doesn't it?
Most the time better care. More questions are asked & more options discussed. Not just seeing a “prescriber”.
Our healthcare system is carefully designed to make as much $ for big pharma by treating conditions, but never curing them. Any increase in deaths is huge bonus. We're just cattle after all, and sometimes "they" feel the need to cull the herd.
