Segmentation of Chronic Conditions and Healthcare Profitability
Historically, adults rarely had obesity a century ago, as it was associated with being in a circus. The rise in diabetes among children from virtually non-existent rates decades ago to 33% currently indicates a significant problem. The modern medical system categorizes health issues into specialties, contributing to a profitable healthcare model. By segmenting conditions like prediabetes and treating individual symptoms separately, the system leads individuals into a cycle of various treatments and procedures, ultimately driving up healthcare costs. This approach of segmenting chronic conditions is considered a critical mistake post-World War II and is traced back to the Rockefellers. The current healthcare system, influenced by the Flexner Report, focuses on treating diseases in isolation with surgeries or medications, rather than holistically, as mandated by law.
