What we euphemistically call "healthcare" operates on a business model that would be recognized as fraudulent in any other industry. The system's incentive structure rewards the perpetuation of illness, the creation of dependency, and the management, rather than resolution of health conditions. This is not conspiracy, it's reality. Economic actors respond to incentives, and when healing eliminates revenue streams while chronic management maximizes them, rational profit-seeking behavior inevitably follows this perverse logic.
The pharmaceutical complex epitomizes this principle. A drug that cures generates a single transaction; a drug that manages symptoms generates perpetual revenue. The actual healing of a patient represents a business failure, or to put it more informally; a patient cured is a customer lost. This explains why the industry has systematically marginalized, suppressed, or co-opted approaches that address root causes rather than profitable symptom management. Always remember that your health is not a public utility to be managed by faceless bureaucrats and corporations, but a private responsibility requiring individual knowledge, decision-making, and action.
