90% of the Medical Industrial Complex profits are chronic care costs. We live in a delusional society, pretending that dozens of ailments are "illnesses" rather than simply dying of old age. Society is death-phobic and germophobic, and thinks that "medicine" will eventually extend our lives. But "medicine" isn't extending our LIFE, "medicine" is extending our DEATH.
I find it ludicrous. Some people will live to 90-100 because of incredible luck or incredible genetics. But the people DEMANDING that some doctor GIVES them long life, or worse, who DEMAND that the Medical Industrial Complex give them long life, are pure idiots (Harris, Weisntein, Pinker, Haidt, Dawkins, leading the way to everyone else). Death by OLD AGE is normal, and we need to stop wasting public taxpayer funds on staving it off. Public taxpayer healthcare should ONLY look after "fixables".
I live in Canada where Canadians DEMAND that our public healthcare system get them to age 100, all the while stopping work at 60, which means their expectation is to bankrupt both the retirement system and the healthcare system. We are in such a bad place in history.
