I am pretty certain that health maintenance is just a self-perpetuating state whereby people's lives are continued beyond their natural end for jobs and profits. Nobody who has invested a life's learning in health care, and makes a good living from it wants to kill the conditions which lay the golden eggs. Only idealists, who suffer from a certain disease fight hard for its eradication. Only those with a vested interest in a cure for what ails them, want true "prevent ions and cures for the myriad diseases of humankind.. Remember, death has no cure, so why not concentrate on making our lives that we do have just plain happier and more comfortable with less stress for all?
