[quote=jpinpb][quote=CA renter]Maybe that’s because we don’t approach health from a holistic perspective, as the Europeans are more prone to do. That holistic approach tends to exist in a sytem where health — rather than profits — is the priority of the healthcare system.
After all, with a **for-profit** healthcare system, a sick population (with chronic conditions that need to be “treated” for life, no less) is precisely what they want.[/quote]
X2. But then we have our new national healthcare, which is insurance based. And this is why I have an issue w/it. They are in business solely to make money.[/quote]
But now that the insurers are required to cover everyone, with limits on what they can charge, as well as no longer being able to put lifetime caps on what they will pay, along with not being able to drop people who become ill, it becomes in their best interest to actually want people to be and stay healthy.
