4. Unity in the Health Care Crisis
Uniting the Community Effort with the Individual Effort
Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette, DC, MS
April 5, 2007
The unity that is necessary is a specific unity between community caring and individual caring. When we talk health care, the community must care for itself. It does this through universal health care. Individuals must care for themselves through self-help strategies. The community cares for itself through decisions that take care of its people. Universal health care is a community-caring function. Adequate retirement pension is a community-caring function.
While the community cares for itself, the people must respond by caring for themselves. Individual action is necessary to sustain the system. When individuals care for themselves then the burden is lessened on the community, which can then care further in more effective ways. Without individuals caring for themselves, the community breaks down in overload.
Caring for oneself entails more than just an emotional commitment to take care of oneself. It requires an active action plan whereby people deliberately make decisions that directly take care of themselves. The problem is that many people do not know how to care for themselves, particularly people who have a history of investing almost all of their energy in the necessities of survival. Then again, many people feel that they should not have to take care of themselves. They are here for a good time only and thumb at the consequences. This attitude mind-set needs to be changed.
The community can help people change by offering them services that teach them effective lifestyle modification, including attitudinal shifts. Science indicates that it is possible to change from a pessimist to an optimist and thus, gain the rewards that this lifestyle brings. More money, happier marriages, and longer better quality lives are all associated with optimism.
The LIA Project is an early plan that offers people leadership, standardisation, and a start in the process of lifestyle modification toward longer, happier, more fulfilled lives. The community cannot afford any longer to leave the individual on their own. Disease-based health care is too costly and prone to overload. Many diseases are largely preventable. However, people need help. They cannot do it on their own in large numbers. It is the communitie's duty to help them. LIA sets out how some of that help should progress.
People need help.
LIA offers that help.
