Have you wonder what is wrong with western medical systems?

Here my two cents:

I have learned that if the country has a predominantly private medical system, the medical schools will teach doctors to focus on symptoms and not the root cause, moreover, the pharmaceutical industry is highly motivated to keep patients with chromic illness on treatments and not cured

Countries that have their health system public have the opposite approach, those countries have a very strong incentive to cure the patient instead to manage their condition for profit, even the pharma industry being public, focuses on cure instead of management of conditions since it is more cost effective for the government

Money corrupts, mixing health and money is wrong and the proof is in the pudding
