I am a doctor of chiropractic practicing in Canada, where, as in the U.S., much of the "health industry" is controlled by the big monies of the pharmacy companies. I would like to implement a system of care for my patients so they know that they will be taken care of regardless of their ability to pay. The laws currently will not allow us to barter for services and when I do discount the fee, I feel the patients don't value the service and almost feel guilty receiving it for free, since they know the exchange has to be a monetary one. In our current system, it is hard to deal with this. I would like to drop the grip that this exchange(money) has on our office, but obviously it keeps us running and able to purchase supplies. Any thoughts on how to implement a system where everyone takes care of everyone and therefore everyone gets exactly what they need? • Ishmael.org, the work & philosophy of Daniel Quinn
