Why should we subscribe to Health Care when alternative medicine is cheaper and safer?

I ran into a nurse the other day at the vitamin section the other day and she was talking about how she has seen plenty of people get better and healthier with herbs, vitamins, and natural medicines. Before I use to subscribe to the doctors know best but after years of taking my parents to doctors I found out that alternative medicines in many instances can safe your life as oppose to being operated and treated with overpriced and dangerous prescriptions. Haven't you seen the side effects for some of these drug prescriptions its insane..............literally. A couple of months ago my boyfriend found out he had gall stones and needed to be operated because of the extreme pain. I found out that simply by drinking pickle juice certain gall stones can be eliminated. And for high blood pressure a simple vitamin can reduce instead of buying $30,000 a year on high blood pressure. The list goes on and on I can see how democrats need health insurance to milk itself and the public off of needless surgeries.
