The Effects of Medication on Productivity

90 percent of the adult workforce have at least one chronic illness. The average person with a chronic illness has 90 lost working days per year compared to somebody who doesn't have a diagnosed chronic illness. Putting those people on medications makes them more likely to be less productive at work and cost more money for their employer. Drugs do not get you healthy right they make you they are they make you no less susceptible to getting sicker going forward and early death they cost a lot of money so the only people who benefit from that are the people who make or make a living from prescribing or dispense drugs.
