Sick for Profit: How the Healthcare Industry Needs You Diseased

You've been taught to trust the healthcare system with your life. But what if its primary goal isn't to make you healthy, but to keep you sick? The modern healthcare industry is not a system of care; it is a system of commerce. It thrives not on wellness, but on the profitable management of chronic disease. In the provocative and eye-opening book, "Sick for Profit," author Jerome Ellis exposes how this multi-trillion-dollar industry is built on a foundation that needs you diseased to survive. This is not a conspiracy theory; it is a business model. Inside, this book dismantles the pillars of the for-profit healthcare machine. You will discover how the pharmaceutical industry profits from pushing lifelong medications over potential cures, how insurance companies act as gatekeepers to maximize their own revenue, how hospitals inflate prices for basic services, and how the government-subsidized food industry creates the very chronic illnesses that the medical system is paid to treat. "Sick for Profit" is more than a critique; it is a guide to reclaiming your own health. It provides a clear path to patient empowerment, focusing on preventative care, nutrition, and informed decision-making. This is the playbook for opting out of a system that needs you sick and building a life of genuine wellness.
