Quote by Mehmet Oz
You cannot drive a system that's going to be aiming at preventing illness if everyone is not in it. The whole gaming of health insurance and health care in America is based on that fundamental principle: insure people who aren't sick and you don't have to pay more money on them.
Summary
This quote highlights the flaws in the American health insurance and healthcare system. It suggests that the current system is designed to prioritize insuring healthier individuals while possibly neglecting those who are already ill. This approach is seen as a way to minimize costs for insurers. However, the quote argues that for a healthcare system to truly work in preventing illness, it needs to include everyone and not discriminate based on health conditions. It calls attention to the need for a more equitable and comprehensive approach to healthcare in America.
