Chronic diseases account for the vast majority of medical spending and American deaths, indicating a systemic issue in the healthcare industry. The current model focuses on managing illnesses rather than addressing their root causes, leading to a cycle of dependency on medication and treatments that profit the healthcare system. Examples include the widespread prescription of statins for high cholesterol and other medications that fail to treat underlying issues while creating a lucrative market for pharmaceutical companies. This approach ultimately leaves patients vulnerable and contributes to worsening public health rather than promoting preventive care and wellness.
