Health

Healthcare is no longer a right, now it is a luxury that few people can afford. Diseases are used to expand the business of life insurance companies since there are all kinds of treatments depending on whether you can afford it. Many people in the world do not have access to medicine because they cannot afford to pay, they have even died outside hospitals waiting for care. It seems that the business of medicine includes laboratories and the prices of medicine. The government as well as the salaries of doctors and specialists make access to quality medicine difficult.

The increase in the world’s population also makes medicine expensive since it is impossible to provide care to all citizens. It is impossible to sustain and maintain access to medicine for millions of people. One solution to this problem is to invest more in public health so that it is better quality and excellent service compared to private medicine. In addition, serving citizens regardless of their income or age seeks to create equality in the programs. I think it is worrying that the Canadian Government is investing less and less in the public health programs because this has negative consequences on the quality of life of all individuals.
