Just as the meaning of health and its assessment have been dominated by a disease-centric approach, most health services are provided within the context of "disease care systems". Calling them "systems" is a misnomer at best, and disingenuous at worst, as they work more like a disjointed franchise of inefficient repair shops, offering services to the public along dysfunctional production lines operated by people who are increasingly at risk of behaving like robots. As a result, most of the resources available are consumed by activities designed to diagnose and fix problems that are largely unfixable (e.g., incurable chronic complex diseases), or are directed to providing medical responses to social problems, instead of being used to deal with curable conditions for which medicine is very good.
