Insurance-ism is private insurance as it's been practiced in the United States for the past several decades.
The current dialog in the media, among the members of congress and sound bytes from the President is bringing the term to front and center in conversation and in print.
Yes, it's not legitimate! With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter, head of Public Relations for CIGNA, saw for-profit insurers hijack our health care system (we don't have a health care system folks, that's a play on words) and put profits before patients.
On July 10, 2009, he spoke with Bill Moyers, PBS, about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform.
(There is no health care to reform - another play on words) You might find Bill Moyers Journal On Demand or watch for it to replay.

You'll be better informed about what lies in front of you if you are ill now or think you might be ill later.
It ain't pretty - what's looming.

unless we Americans band together and refuse to accept their rhetoric and their low-brow treatment of us.
By the way - while you're at it - Google Dr.
Bruce Lipton - he's a cellular biologist and he writes books about his discoveries that will blow your mind.
You really are a very powerful being.
What can we do? Get on the phone to your congress person and your senator and scream to high heaven about getting a sane health care system (that was not a play on words) in this country or you'll withhold your vote next time around.
Make it very plain that you mean business.
Are you ready for a paradigm shift? The other thing you can do is look into alternative health care programs.
The field has grown over the last thirty years.
Do your due diligence now before you need the help.

You just don't know how powerful you are.
Once you have an understanding of this area you've ignored, you'll feel confident again.
There's a whole big world out there that takes into consideration the whole person unlike the medical and pharmaceutical people.
They all think they are operating on machinery, like taking your car to the shop.
The medical and pharmaceutical people are completely unaware of you as you.
A thinking, feeling sentient being with a life you value.
I know a chemist who left Big Pharma because he couldn't in good conscience participate in the creation of medical poisons required for treatment in our current system - he just didn't feel like killing people anymore.
He's written two or three books about how to lose weight with products you can get at the grocery store, lower blood pressure the same way and get off diabetes medication the same way.
He also has a thriving business coaching folks to get healthy and get off drugs forever.
Are you surprised? I know how it feels to be confused about this subject.
I'm over it now.
You'll be alright.
The pharmaceutical and medical people have sold us a bill of goods and we bought the goods because we didn't take the time to investigate what they were selling until now.
When you're ready to take 100% responsibility for your life and declare out loud that you no longer need the pharmaceutical and medical mafia - you'll find your way to better health.
You might be a little shaky at first.
Jumping off the accepted, mainstream, American way is scary - but, many of us have done it and are thriving - in fact, we are writing articles about it.
We are the subculture you would like to join - and I'm smiling as I write this.
Oh, and have you seen Sicko, by Michael Moore yet? You can get it at your local video store and it might be playing on a cable channel.
Don't miss it.
You'll see the members of congress on the dole from the medical and big pharma lobbies and you'll see our 9/11 heroes being treated for free in Cuba.
Why did Michael Moore take our 9/11 fireman to Cuba? Because the United States won't treat them.
Some of them are finally getting well.
Here's another name to Google.
Dr.
Chris McCoy, Policy Chair for the National Physicians Alliance.
He just wrote to the AMA , June 2009, and asked to have his name removed from their rolls.
His letter to the AMA is titled: Dear AMA: I Quit! Here's a doctor with a conscience and some leadership qualities.
