       IS THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT SEEKS MEDICINE
  CIVILIZED SOCIETIES
  SOME MORE THAN OTHERS
  DEVELOP PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS TO
  PREVENT HEALTH ALTERATIONS BY SYSTEMATIC
  APPLICATION OF EXISTING KNOWLEDGE
  however there are emerging tensions
  arising from the
  COMMERCIALIZATION of HEALTH
  as if there is a
  PRICE ON HEALTH or a
  "HEALTH MARKET"
  hx> PATIENTS in the USA
      increasingly depend for their care on
  HMO or HEALTH "MANAGEMENT" ORGANIZATIONS
  who prefer to be known as
  HEALTH "MAINTENANCE" ORGANIZATIONS
  note that COMMERCIAL MEDICINE is
       replacing the old medical principle
  "PRIMUM NON NOCERE" or "FIRST DO NOT HARM"
  by the MERCENARY principle of
  "CAVEAT EMPTOR" or
  "CONSUMER BE AWARE"
  hx> THE ROLE HMO GATE KEEPERS is to
      RATION HEALTH CARE and some do so
  RATIONALLY but other are IRRATIONAL
  hx> HMO lobbyists convinced the USA Congress
      to pass legislation to immunize
  HMO organizations from prosecutions
  stemming from denial of health care services
  by HMO "gate keepers"

  however USA POLITICIANS have failed
  to provide access to HEALTH to
