Challenging the Healthcare Paradigm

The current healthcare system in the United States is marked by significant flaws, evidenced by high child mortality rates and poor overall longevity despite spending a large portion of the economy on healthcare. The underlying issues stem from unhealthy food designs driven by profit motives, which contribute to widespread obesity and metabolic disorders. This pervasive health crisis creates a cycle of dependency on pharmaceuticals and costly medical interventions, highlighting the need to critically assess solutions like socialized medicine before implementation, as they may not address the root causes of the problems.
