"Health is wealth" is an old adage. But this statement can be conceived in two perspectives.
1. The doctors, hospitals, drug manufacturers and health providers
2. The patients
For the doctors and all those involved in the practice of medical profession, ill health means money to them. When you get sick, you go to the doctor. Medicines are prescribed. In worse case, you are confined in the hospital. The doctors, hospital owners, drug companies siphon your money and they get richer at your expense.
For the patient, being healthy is being free from illness. Thus, his funds and money are saved and used for other basic expenses. This can be savings that can be used for future investments.
Have you ever been seriously sick? Without a health card, you surely drained your wallet!!! This could be the reason why health cards are becoming more popular.
The best thing to do for all of us is to avoid incidences of sickness. Try to be fit and healthy. This is easy if you have dedication and self control - watch your diet, exercise, keep your weight at normal level and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Could you do this? Well, this is your big CHALLENGE!
