Same sickness, different outcome

"The sick man of Asia" was the name for China many years ago during the Qing dynasty. The reasons cover from internal decay to opium. The opium business had driven the wealth from China to England. That means the sickness had done nothing good for China.

According to "Making Health Care the Engine That Drives the Economy", it seems that America may soon be the "The sick man of the world". Yet, it is said to be a contribution to the economy.

If it will be so, then being health may be taken as bad for the national economy. Of course, that is not a good thing at all.

Health is the best thing for human. Perhaps good medication makes everyone careless about his or her health. Perhaps there is not enough investment for research about how not to be sick. That is the sad truth today.
