mypinholepinups:Detail from cronophotograph by Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) * * * *“Between the choice to live in pain and the choice to take pills, there should be a world of alternatives: health care that we can find, or that can find us. This would mean easier access to doctors, but also to other, simpler means of health. A great deal of physical pain, for example, is best treated with physical therapy and physical exercise. These options require human contact, and do not generate the quick profits of pharmaceuticals and surgical implants. If we are concerned about American health, and American freedom, then everyone should be insured, and everyone’s insurance should cover what helps to relieve pain. We need a system of solidarity that no individual can create but from which every individual would gain.”Our Malady: Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary:: by Timothy Snyder[Currently reading this fascinating book.
