  • We often think of health as a self-centric phenomenon that begins and ends with "me", but as we'll explore throughout this series our personal health is just one plot line in a rich story of evolving research and policies that make up the world of public health. So what is public health anyway? Well, public health is an approach to preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health for literally everyone. It is a money-saving, life-extending, world-bettering cheat code for improving the world, so we'll spend the rest of this series examining how and where it is working, where it isn't working, and how so much of our health is influenced by the world around us.

    It's good to see crash course covering this! It feels like I've spent the last two years fighting both individuals and organisations on the importance of prevention. Hopefully with a bit of a better understanding, people will realise we're actually trying to help.
    Now if only I could get the government to watch this...

    Here's an interesting linguistic fact: did you know that the word "salute" comes from the Latin word that means "safety" or "good health"? A pretty fitting word to describe a formal greeting or expression of respect, since it means to pray for good health to whoever is being saluted. Variants of this word also appear in Romance languages for casually greeting others. The same Latin root also gave way to words like "salvage" and "salvation".

    My mothers life was saved 2 times by the public health system, and we spent no money. Obviously this is paid eith everyones taxes, but it's completely worth, everyone pays a bit, and any person can benefit of practically anything they need, even foreigners can have it for free if they're here. My family would NEVER be able to afford the amount of money it would have costed in a private hospital, and this is the reality for almost everyone in my country.
    My mother gets a ridiculously expensive medication for free too, and it makes her life quality a lot better.
    These people making others fear the taxes or anything just to keep paying TO LIVE is just a proof of how brainwashed people are by this sick system.

    I think it is telling than in the USA public health means "Promoting and protecting people's health", while, according to the UN's International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which was signed by the USA on Oct 5th 1977, health, as a human right is about ensuring the access and enjoyment of THE HIGHEST ATTAINABLE STANDARD OF HEALTH.

    My grandfather was a doctor who worked in a Public Health function for most of his career ( 1920's - 1960's ) . My father was a Commissioned Officer in the Public Health Service after working in state health departments. Milk and food safety was his area. I grew up with it as a mission.
    It pains me greatly to see the public turning against public health. It will cripple our nation if we don't reverse this.

    Public health are action words, like "I love you". It's not just stringing words together, it's a specific set of actions that proves, through deeds, what you say.
    The U.S. health care system says "I don't love you, I don't particularly care about you, but depending on your wealth, the quality of my service is directly commensurate with how much you can pay".
