One of the major things the medical system has tried to foster in the population is a general aversion to self care so they perpetually require medical care to be better. The tragic thing is many doctors don't want to practice medicine that way, but they are forced to because the culture encourages unhealthy lifestyles.

Yes, lack of personal responsibility towards one's good health as a result of spending the greater part of one's life chasing the Almighty U.S. Dollar as well as various and sundry dubious pass times is a huge problem. People make fun of you if you spend two hours a day doing things that make and keep you fit.
Figures. How hilarious-- we really should make T-shirts that read: "Orthorexia: A medical term applied to people who choose to eat foods free from Big Ag, Big Pharma and military contractor aerosolized poisons dispersed in the atmosphere, and Big Government controls."
There actually is some truth to that. Several years ago, if I recall the article correctly, Netherlands commissioned a study that showed that people who lived a healthy lifestyle into old age were a greater net cost to the public pension/health care system than folks who didn't take good care of themselves.
The proverbial can has been opened. The EU wants to up the retirement age and howls went up from the French. Here you can retire later and you're rewarded for the delay.
Catherine Austin Fitts did in fact cover this topic back in 2009 with her post titled "The Swine Flu-- What I Believe," at her solari.com website. Last I checked it's still up.

Yup. They've even come up with a term for those of us who are interested in and follow healthy eating - orthorexia.

I suppose if they encouraged healthy lifestyles the pension system would go bankrupt and that would open a whole other can of worms

Or in a quite perverse way all the sickcare spending is regarded as "good for the economy".

Your comment would be a great basis for a dedicated article.

This is sad but very true.
