RE: How Do We Stay Healthy When Illness Equals Profit?
I often think about this sort of thing because I am fascinated by incentives and how simply changing one's incentives can produce a radical change in behavior. What you've laid out here is a perfect example of incentives being misaligned.
Great post as always @jerrybanfield.
@brandonp thank you for reading, commenting, and upvoting with us here! Your positive feedback here is what motivates me to make Steem a priority each day and helps me think what can I do to help the most!
I appreciate you also making a witness vote for me at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because your witness vote helps indefinitely to fund projects growing Steem via @budgets!
Also, I think having a positive attitude each day, learning how to "breathe" (we forget sometimes!) thru those super stressful moments, much plant-based diet like you said, healthy supplements (as opposed to meds if you can), yoga/exercise, letting go of anger, prayer and lots of GRATITUDE for every moment and challenge! I also drink at least 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar a day w/water. I haven't had a cold in a few years!
I agree with you.
One solution regarding changing incentives would be to shift the industry thinking that illness is profitable over to the idea that health is profitable. If we could structure healthcare so that doctors made more money keeping you well, we would see a big improvement.
Agreed @geke especially when we see that health is much more profitable for us as an entire society!
@geke thank you for being one of the first to comment on this post and for upvoting it because this is part of how I know that showing up here each day is useful!
I see you have voted for 27 witnesses so far at https://steemit.com/~witnesses and not make a vote for me yet! Will you please add me to your list of witness votes because your witness vote for me will help fund additional projects to grow Steem via @budgets?
Exactly. I couldn't agree more. That's the exact way to do it. Shift the incentives.
