Health Care Costs Quotes

• Los costes sanitarios aumentan porque los consumidores no participan en el proceso de toma de decisiones. La mayoría de los costes de la asistencia sanitaria los cubren terceros. Y por lo tanto, el usuario real de la atención sanitaria no es el comprador de la atención sanitaria. Y no hay fuerzas de mercado implicadas en la atención sanitaria.

• If we do nothing, as the Republicans suggest, we're going to see health care costs reach a point where small businesses can't afford it and families can't afford it.

• Quizá una de las cosas más importantes que se puede hacer por los seres humanos es destetarlos de una dieta basada en animales. Endurece las arterias y aumenta los costes sanitarios. Lo último que una persona pobre puede permitirse es un ataque al corazón, un cáncer o un derrame cerebral. Y todo eso está relacionado con una dieta basada en la carne. Creo que la liberación animal es la liberación humana.

• No conozco nada en medicina que pueda acercarse a lo que puede hacer una dieta basada en plantas. En teoría, si todo el mundo la adoptara, creo que podríamos reducir los costes sanitarios entre un setenta y un ochenta por ciento. Es asombroso. Y todo viene de la comprensión de la nutrición, la aplicación de la nutrición, y sólo ver los resultados.
