Consumers of healthcare are conditioned to be uninformed and misguided.
Why? Well, the United States healthcare system health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, specialists, and others is assembled to keep you sick. They don't want you to know this because it's making them very rich.
In fact, we are the only developed nation in the world that allows the health industry to profit, maintaining incentives for providers to keep us sick. This status quo is kept alive by keeping Americans uninformed and exploited for profit. We have been conditioned to not know the inner workings of our healthcare system, and as a result, we are powerless from this abuse of power.
