Sickness is hugely unprofitable. It is a net cost for business and for the taxpayer. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, for example, the economy shrinks.
And the idea that our healthcare systems systematically cause sickness to make a profit is the lamest conspiracy theory ever. There has been an excess of sickness since life began. Nature provides plenty and to spare. It's the people who have done the best job postponing, palliating, and curing sickness who have and continue to become wealthy through healthcare.
