The goal of the Medical Industrial Complex is PROFIT.
The best road to profits is extending death decades beyond nature (yes some freaks of nature live long on their own).
So 90% of our "healthcare" is now geriatrics.
THAT is why we "live" (die) longer.
And yes social sanitation has helped, but when "prevention" becomes safetyism, is it really worth it?
In the old days before the germ theory, they thought all disease came from within. They were wrong about the germs, but they were right about the big picture.
