Let’s be logical for a moment (1 millisecond is all I ask). If we are living longer, then we should be healthier and therefore healthcare expenditures should have been less all of our life and they should still be less today. Actually, if we live healthy until 100 years old and then suddenly die of “old age” we should have enjoyed a great quality of life with very little healthcare cost or suffering.
Instead, most people and the “experts” such as Victor Fuchs in the New England Journal of Medicine this week equate longevity with more expenditure on healthcare and a lesser quality of life.
Does our modern perception of health make sense?
Are we really living longer today? Not really. Maybe a few years, but we are living much sicker than ever before, dying on average 13 years after illness sets in.
SIMPLE SOLUTION – stay healthy throughout your life! PREVENT ILLNESS and maximize the quality and quantity of your life!
ENJOY EVERY DAY!!!!!
