Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
Cool,
You do your herbal stuff.....Some of us prefer to trust our health to a person who has studied and understood both medicine and modern pharmacology.
Personally I prefer a doctor versed in homeopathic and modern medicine but that's me and I'm not calling herbologists or homeopaths stupid or retarded.
I kind of like the fact that modern medicine offers such "stupid" things as a laboratory, CAT & PET scans, laparoscopic surgery to mention a few..
I do understand that. If our system was based on Chinese traditional medicine, the amount of money you would cost them would be proportional to how long it takes you to get better. There really is no great measurement of how long it will take you to get better. Even in CTM, you don't know how long it will take to get better until you actually get treated. So its pointless to base a system on pre existing conditions.
More important questions should be "do you smoke, drink, eat bad foods, etc." Statistically the people who do these things will cost more than the people who don't.
Screw it.

Unless you have an emergency situation, alternative treatments are best. Western medicine is fine if you break your leg, have severe cancer, need a new organ immediately, etc. Unless you are in that situation, I'd go with a good alternative provider and not look back.
A good provider can diagnose you by looking at your tongue. So there is usually no need for a doctor's diagnostic tests...unless its an emergency.
I would think in a free market your dad would be able to get health coverage on everything except the diabetes treatment. It might be expensive, but it would at least be available.
Currently, I imagine, there are probably some regulations against doing that which prevents insurance companies from writing custom contracts for people with pre-existing conditions. There is a big market for people with pre-existing conditions, not sure why a company wouldn't want to extract premiums out of them and then just pay for any future health problems.
But I also agree with other posters that your dad could likely cure his condition with a change in diet. In fact, most conditions can be cured with a change in diet. Most of the foods that are causing these diseases are actually subsidized by government, making them cheaper. This puts people with limited means in a tough position because they either have to spend more on food to keep up their health or spend less on food now and spend much more later on health care.

"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
I agree smokers should pay more. People who don't take care of their bodies should pay more because they will cost more.
I disagree that there are morons that just eat too much. This is rarely the case. The majority of eating problems are people who eat the wrong foods. People on a typical american diet with lots of dairy, butter, and meat fats will have lots of more health problems than people who don't eat this stuff. Insurance applications should be asking this stuff.

People die in China everyday from disease. They've died there throughout history. While I understand the implications of self-healing and preventative care to think that simply following 'ancient Chinese secret' is gonna solve all problems is just frikken idiotic.

I'll tell you whats idiotc, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a system that has yet to develop one cure.
Not everyone in China is health conscious. Not everyone keeps their body at 100%. Thats why its important to not only have CTM but put a system in place that encourages people to take care of you health.
Screw it.

Those tongues are beyond my expertise. I can recognize some of the problems, but those are gross. Some of that stuff I've never seen before.
These people had to have known something was wrong way before it happened. How could they not know something was wrong when looking at those tongues?
