Why I Am Against Obamacare!
Why I Am Against Obamacare!
I have been asked about how I feel about Obamacare.
And though I realize my answer is VERY controversial…I will offer it anyway. My answer is by no means political, and I certainly do not mean to offend anyone. This is simply my opinion, and my reasoning for it. Please accept it as such.
As always, I invite all comments (as long as they are respectful of others)!
After being diagnosed with MS nearly 10 years ago…I can’t imagine what the state of my health would be today, had I listened to all the MD’s telling me of all the drugs I needed to take, just to “manage” the disease. Of course…they offered me no cure, and no other options. I felt hopeless.
I decided to take control of my own health (I mean, what did I have to lose?), and I did cure myself 100% naturally!
Yes…it was expensive! (Organic food, supplements/nutrition therapy, natural healthcare, etc)
Yes…it was scary!
And…
Yes…it was worth it!
So, what of Obamacare? It doesn’t offer insurance for natural health care. It only condones pharmaceuticals and medical propaganda…often against holistic health care.
How does that help those who only want holistic health care?
Being forced to purchase insurance that I will never use is insulting to me. I understand, perhaps, insurance for …let’s say…a broken leg, auto accident, etc…but with regards to “disease prevention” or “health” care…no thank you!
I am doing far better on my own!
However, if holistic healthcare was offered as an option, I would indeed be in favor for it!
But to have to purchase insurance for “health”care when it’s obvious what is causing disease in the first is, to me, ridiculous!
After all, it’s not a secret why people are so sick!
- Food additives
- Artificial sugars
- GMO’s
- Fluoride
- Processed foods
- Hormones, antibiotic-ridden non-organically raised meats
- Pollution
- Pesticides
- Super-sized foods
- Little exercise
- Stress
- 50 plus vaccines (and growing)
- Pharmaceuticals to mask the symptoms that all of the above has caused
- Pharmaceuticals for the side-effects of Pharmaceuticals
And on and on…
If conventional medicine is working, then why are people sicker today than they were 10 years ago?
More importantly, cures already exist! For cancer, heart disease, diabetes (1 and 2), autoimmune, etc! There are thousands of people that have cured themselves naturally. Yet…sadly, people, such as myself, are often criticized and ridiculed for sharing our story and offering options to “drug” care.
For me it is simple…I was sick…and now I am not! Thanks to holistic health care! And I created Online Holistic Health in hopes of sharing the information that I have learned, researched, and discovered. And I offer this all for free.
Aside from curing myself from MS, I am a chiropractor who also holds a BS in Human Biology, and a minor in Medical Research. So I do understand how the human body functions. And thanks to the internet, Facebook, and other formats, I have the opportunity to share more information now, than I could have ten years ago! However, I am not a journalist or an English major, and though I do try my best to write in perfect grammar 😉 …my focus is entirely on the information itself.
I am well aware that my views are often controversial. And believe me; I take quite a bit of heat for it! But I will not stop trying to get the message of Holistic Healthcare out to the public!
So with regards to the question of, “Where do you (Dr. Kmiec) stand on Obamacare?”
I think you know that answer…controversial or not…
I am 100% against it!
In friendship and with the utmost respect,
Dr. Michelle Kmiec; Founder of Online Holistic Health

After a year and a half of unresponsiveness to vision therapy and the atrophy of the optic nerve to my 6 year olds left eye we are preparing for eye surgery. My cousin died because he could not afford the needed amount of insulin for his Type 1 diabetes, there are many health issues that have nothing to do with clean eating. As a medical professional you should really know that. While many diseases and ailments are the result of poor diet, many more are not, many are sudden, acute, idiopathic, or injuries as a result of accident. You don’t just get insurance for the illness or injury you have ( previously known as an excluded previously existing condition) You get it because things happen, accidents happen, and nobody should should have to choose between their health or their food, rent, etc. I’ve been a clean eater for many years, and I cured myself with dietary changes also, but it was a battery of hospital tests that let me know what changes I needed to make, eating clean was clearly not enough to know what it was that my body couldn’t process, despite being all natural, organic, non-gmo.

Hello Loren, Thank you for your passionate comment and for sharing your point of view. However, I believe you missed my point of view which is having the choice of healthcare/insurance rather than the narrow choice of only those adhering to the conventional medical model. Perhaps you do not my story. I was diagnosed with MS and instead of pharmaceuticals, I choose to regain my health via holistic means. I succeeded!
Side note: You also make the assumption that I am against insurance for injuries/accidents, which is incorrect. If I need stitches or medical attention for a broken leg, an ER is the place I would go. However, if I prefer to use chiropractic over PT for rehabilitation, again this should be my choice and I should be able to choose an insurance plan that covers this. At the time I wrote this article, chiropractic, acupuncture, and other holistic practices were not recognized under Obamacare (I still do not believe there are).
Interesting that you write, ” You get it because things happen, accidents happen, and nobody should should have to choose between their health or their food, rent, etc.” as I personally know many people who had to make that choice because Obamacare was/is simply too expensive.
Bottom line, we should be allowed the choice of healthcare and insurance… and I agree, it should also be affordable.
Wishing you optimal health!
