And I think this is the crime of the medical system. It’s not healthcare, it’s sickcare.
Public healthcare is non-profit and directly incentivized by a healthy population.

The obesity epidemic seems like a good case study. Private health care looks to prescription drugs to fix it (subscription model) whereas public conceivably would push community awareness campaigns promoting exercise/diet (no profit stream).
And I know I’m in the early stages of ankylosing spondylitis yet since I don’t have any bone deformation yet they just don’t care about my pain.
