No Health But Bombs!

And the fact is that, while politicians in the richest countries appear to be heavily engaged in forcing their tax-payers to forget about public health and pensions funds and to instead shift to the private sector to try to obtain these basic services they have already paid for, more than half of all humans are lacking access to such an essential right.

But before explaining what is going on, you may wish to know that several major private banks and healthcare and pension funds corporations have been using your money to “invest” in the production of nuclear bombs. Just go through this short report until the end!

For now, let’s start with some more facts and figures as provided by the UN World Health Organization (WHO):

• Almost 100 million people are being pushed into extreme poverty, forced to survive on just 1.90 dollars or less a day, because they have to pay for health services out of their own pockets.

.
• Over 800 million people (almost 12 per cent of the world’s population) spend at least 10 per cent of their household budgets on health expenses for themselves, a sick child or other family member. They incur so-called “catastrophic expenditures”.

.
• Incurring catastrophic expenses for health care is a global problem. In richer countries in Europe, Latin America and parts of Asia, which have achieved high levels of access to health services, increasing numbers of people are spending at least 10 per cent of their household budgets on out-of-pocket health expenses.

These facts, among many others, will be “newsable” at least for one day: the World Health Day 2018: Health for All marked on 7 April each year.
