Health as a Luxury: When Greed Takes Over Health Systems

In an era where healthcare has become increasingly privatized, health has transformed into a luxury accessible only to the affluent. Greedy corporations exploit the vulnerable by inflating medical costs and restricting access to essential services. Pharmaceutical companies inflate drug prices with impunity, while insurance companies devise complex and arbitrary barriers to limit coverage. The commodification of health has created a system that prioritizes profits over people, leaving the poor and uninsured at the mercy of predatory practices. As a result, health has become a privilege reserved for those who can afford to pay, widening the chasm between the healthy and the marginalized.
