America's health care system is in crisis precisely because

Summary

This quote highlights the precarious state of America's healthcare system, attributing the crisis to the overall lack of focus on wellness and prevention. Rather than prioritizing proactive measures to maintain good health and prevent diseases, the system tends to be reactive, primarily addressing healthcare needs after individuals become sick. The quote suggests that by emphasizing wellness and prevention, healthcare can become less burdened by illness and more focused on maintaining and promoting overall health, potentially alleviating some of the existing crises within the system.
