What i think of our healthcare
Prevention is much much more important than treatment.
But does prevention make a lot of money like treatment? No. Incentive is a powerful weapon; and money is a superb incentive. Therefore, currently, treatment is the preference.
​
The healthcare industry strives on treatment, but prevention will bring a healthier and happier world. I could shower you with all the science and evidence on how lacking the healthcare is right now, but I wanna focus on the most important thing: prevention.
A perfect world
