Why Do Millions Die Without Healthcare? The Truth Behind the System
Did you know that some things in life should NEVER be about making money? Public health is one of them. And yet, millions of people are suffering because we’ve forgotten this simple truth.
Let me tell you a story. In 2017, a woman named Tasha from the U.S. lost her father to a treatable illness. Why? Because he couldn’t afford the medication he needed. The same medication that costs $10 in one country was priced at over $300 in another. Tasha’s story isn’t unique—it’s the reality for millions of families worldwide. And it all comes down to one thing: profit over people.
Here’s the hard truth:
A study by The Lancet (2020) found that countries with strong public health systems have 30% lower mortality rates during pandemics.
According to Harvard University (2018), every $1 invested in public health saves $10 in future healthcare costs.
And WHO (2021) reported that universal public healthcare could prevent 8 million deaths every year.
Public health isn’t just about saving lives—it’s about creating a foundation for a healthier, more productive society.
Think of public health like the roots of a tree. If the roots are weak, the whole tree collapses. Private healthcare might be the shiny fruit at the top, but without strong roots, no one gets to enjoy the benefits.
