Dr. Petryk’s Thoughts: I have been telling people for quite a long time about the alleged “great health care” that other counties have. People like the ever useless Michael Moore produce movies attempting to paint 3rd world nations as having “superior health care.”  Unfortunately, there are still many who are lost and so oblivious to the truth that you buy into these lies. Somewhere in the near future, some Michael Moore want to be is going to start espousing the merits of Stalin’s and Hitler’s healthcare.

Again I will remind everyone that I started as an ambulance volunteer at 15 years old. I was later in the Medical Corp of the U.S. Army and since my discharge have worked in numerous fields of medicine… and I am now in my mid 40s. I have lived abroad, watched, studied and learned about healthcare and history. I am a first generation American, son of Ukrainian immigrants, and I am here to tell you that you better wake up and smell the coffee.

Yes our healthcare system has its problems but I challenge you to produce “factual information” and not statistics compiled by WHO (World Health Organization) before you denigrate our system. Investigate these claims because if you didn’t know, those statistics are a complete farce and based on criteria most intelligent people wouldn’t dare consider.

First: You must be proactive with your health. Stop eating all that garbage, lose some weight and chose a healthier lifestyle. You can get off at least half of those medications if you just do that.

Second: Get up off your empathetic and apathetic posterior ends and get involved in addressing and more importantly solving the problems that do exist and the ballot box is a great place to start.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
