Excellent article! I assume that we aren’t demanding better healthcare because 1) “we” don’t believe we can have it or know what it looks like (cf. the bogeyman of socialized medicine); 2) the fixes are too complex (more doctors needed, private insurance fights payments, byzantine bureaucracies, etc.); and 3) “we” don’t care much about health itself, collectively, and have pretty bad health habits in terms of diet, exercise, and meaningful relationships. That makes a Jenga tower of problems to solve, and we just seem unable to address big questions anymore.
