Socialized medicine has, despite the best of intentions, severely failed to keep the population healthy. Half the population in Denmark and other countries that use socialized medicine is chronically ill, despite the abundance of pharmaceutical drugs. The reason for this failure seems to be that socialized medicine concentrates power, enabling industrial lobbyism, and empowering the pharmaceutical industry. Socialized medicine therefore turns medicine into industrial biomedicine, and doctors into pushers of pharmaceutical drugs. Non-drug alternatives, such as massage, acupressure, and body psychotherapy, which may induce salutogenesis and help cure some patients, are made less likely for physicians to understand and provide for their patients. A solution to the current crisis of medicine is to empower citizens to choose freely how they will use health insurance money. We may need a public health insurance program, but only together with strong laws that ensure that citizens are completely free to use health insurance money according to the person’s own philosophy of life and understanding of health. Commercials for pharmaceuticals must be strongly regulated and must only inform consumers based on evidence. An independent institute for evidence-based medicine is needed to compare all existing treatments to ensure that the effect of drugand non-drug treatments is documented in the same way, so it is possible to compare the effect of both. Global quality of life must always be the endpoint, and chronic patients must be used as their own control to ensure real progress in the management of illness and promotion of health.
