 The health care system is broken. Designed to keep ppl sick bc chronic disease is most profitable. Does not treat root cause only covers up symptoms to create more symptoms.

 💯. The system is designed to maximize profit with a focus on expensive procedures or recurring treatments in patients with chronic health conditions, while areas of preventative healthcare getting little to no attention or money. All a result of a fiat system which masks actual costs, creates harmful centralization of medical systems and resources, and most importantly erodes the patient-doctor relationship.
