Health, or Disease Care?
Words create powerful imagery for the mind. So it concerns us that 'Health
Care' spending is focused on disease and trauma treatment, rather than health
maintenance and preventative care.
It is vital to have assistance in times of crisis. However, medical care does
not prevent the suffering caused by poor health.
Our Health Care System itself - through adverse drug effects, hospital-borne
infections, preventable errors in hospitals, unnecessary surgery, and medication
errors - was the 3rd leading cause of death in 2000.
