Health Care Is There to Make Sick People Well Again
I've been working in health policy now for a quarter century but and I feel reasonably comfortable in my knowledge of how it all works. Health care is there to make sick people well again and to mend broken bones and other injuries to improve to lengthen and improve the quality of our lives. In order to do that first has to be something called medicine you have to have the treatments that will alleviate or cure illness that will repair injuries. If conditions are right for the conditions are in place that will drive down the prices for all sorts of medical tests and treatments and so forth then that helps to make health insurance not only more affordable but less necessary because more people can afford them out of pocket.
