I like your term "disease" care. So true! Was told years ago by a rheumatologist that if I was not taking medications (for my issue) and not needing surgery they had no need to see me... no info on how to best manage issues naturally... they don't care. Take a drug and hope it doesn't cause too major of a side effect. No thanks. He admitted they are not taught much along the line of natural methods, and drugs is the main focus of medicine. I don't go to the Dr very often... I try to focus on what I can do to stay healthy, take supplements I know my body needs... and went 5 years without going to a mainstream Dr... till I got covid pretty bad. Even then I avoided mainstream, ended up seeing our cousin who is a physician for the Amish community... pay cash up front, and only had to visit once, and did follow up with texts. We do not have insurance, but have Medi-Share, a Christian sharing plan... so even with needing to go to ER to get a quick CT scan, and all the blood work, heart tests they did, and meds I still paid less than $3000 for everything... they gave 40% discount for cash pay. That works for me, and that is how it should be done... many Americans would not know what to do with a $3000 bill, but we saved WAY over that in less than a year by carrying a higher deductible.
