RE: Would you do something like that?
Just today I was reading about the healthcare system in the United States, how it often happens that you go to a doctor and he tells you that everything is fine with you, when it's not, and thus misses long initial periods with the possibility of treating very serious diseases.
This is what my main observation is, in countries where money is god - why treat something in the early stages for a couple of bucks when later, when it is all very severe, tens of thousands could be requested for low chance treatments that continue forever.
Is there a country where money is not God?
Because I am in a poor country, and yet I am already on a merry-go-round, not only in the pharmaceutical, but also in the medical spiral, where they transfer me from one "specialist" to another, without doing anything. I'll understand if this were free for me, and they run their schemes with government money. But that's not the case, because I'm also giving money, a constant and meaningless flow of money. And yes, now I think you might be right. In poor countries, a patient is drained in the initial stages of his illness - when he probably still has some means, is able to work, can receive a salary and thus pay for meaningless examinations and tests that lead to nothing. When this person gets worse and probably doesn't have any funds anymore, because without charity campaigns, people can't get treatment here, they are no longer interesting to the health system and it abandons them. Whereas in rich countries it might be the exact opposite.
That is the question.
It is about the right amount of people with a specific mindset.
Your logic seems valid, different countries, different ways of doing their medical business but I am sure it is business everywhere.
