Why Healthcare Costs Are The Most Detrimental Human
Resources Default
Mental and physical illnesses are unreliable treatable as healthcare costs continue to rise, and people who suffer from them are left with little options as they struggle just to keep their mouths fed. Why are we still a society that can't afford their medical treatments, their medications, and who can't afford to keep their wellbeing in check? One of the most interesting faults in the healthcare system is the lack of education and understanding within the medical community. Doctorate degrees progress more for the students' ability to persist, and not on their ability to do at their best as medical professionals.
One of the most harmful aspects that make healthcare so expensive is the lack of flexibility in treatment, such as the limited amount of options for the types of medication and drugs that while given and distributed. The "War On Drugs" only adds fuel to the fire that burns when a drug addicted patient can't receive treatment, because their drug of choice is kept locked away, only fear for their lives as they suffer from withdrawal symptoms. Rather than giving them the right treatment options and the right benefits, such as quality maintenance treatments, and for lack of quality drug replacements, we focus more on rehabilitation and possibly incarceration. This will only add to the costs of healthcare, as drug addiction is a real disease and treating a disease without an appropriate drug will make these patients need more care, that only increases spending and taxes.
The more we can focus on limiting human suffering, and less about trying to cut benefits, the more we can find the causes of many diseases and medical conditions. Mental illnesses are treated in the brain, while physical pain treated in the central nervous system, but without the proper care, medical treatment and medical equipment, such as limited drug treatment options, the costs of healthcare will only rise. Most doctors only make educated guesses, and they only have to take notes, write them down, and pass their tests to graduate, but we should give them more real-life experiences, and set higher standards, even cutting back on less qualified physicians and psychiatrists. We need doctors who know what they are doing, because when you misdiagnosed a problem, it can have devastating consequences, and people will continue to suffer and die, at the hands of faulty doctors who refuse to diagnose the right condition. Many injuries and conditions could be prevented if only they could afford their treatments, and cutting back on unnecessary
