Unfortunately the way society is structured in its current form, makes it far more profitable to keep the patience coming back for more. Why heal anyone if you can just keep them a perpetual customer?

Right on! That's the way we get to have all the many jobs too for economic survivability. If problems like unhealthiness went away, why... so many health workers would be out of a job! We can't actually get rid of many problems in economic terms because that would crash the ability for the people to survive economically. If we solved so many issues, so many jobs would be lost. We keep making more people (increasing populations), and we keep doing things that make more problems so we can keep more people employed. Actually cure cancer? No... just provide treatments, not cures. Actually stop polluting and poisoning ourselves through out land, water and air? No... just provide treatments to the land, water and air and to our own health....

Thanks for the feedback and appreciation! :) Have a good one yourself ;)
