“Gwen has wonderful health insurance and an abundance of healthcare. What Gwen does not have is health. And there is nothing our health system can do to give it to her.” “The battle cry is always health, but in fact the struggle has always been over healthcare.” “For all its inspiring, high-tech cures, medicine is just not very effective at curing our era’s major killers.” “Medicine doesn’t do much [for] chronic disease.” “When the most common killers of our era are mostly incurable and our preventive treatments pretty feeble, you have to wonder about medical care as a whole.” “There is a widely held view that medical care contributes little to health.” (John Bunker/
Journal of the Royal College of Physicians)
