It is remarkable that so few across many countries in the world see the strength of that argument for healthcare.

Healthcare fundamentally, aside from its intrinsic value, additionally, is perhaps the most ‘potent multiplier for economic gains’ in the wider economy.

Shame it’s often treated as a burden.




Anything is a multiplier by this line of logic.

Good jobs lead to surplus income, which leads to higher quality food, which leads to better health, which is a.. multiplier!

More product distribution centres leads to shorter commute times, which leads to less traffic and lower consumer prices, which are both multipliers!
