As far as I’m concerned, the ultimate goal should be not so much a better health care system, but a population so healthy that it hardly needs health care. Health problems may take you to a clinic, but many of them start with how you behave at home – what you eat and drink, whether you smoke or exercise or sleep enough, etc.
以医疗保健为例。在我看来，医疗保健的终极目标不是更完善的医疗保健体系，而是几乎不需要医疗服务的健康的民众。健康出现问题要去诊所，但恰恰是你在家中的所为导致了很多健康问题——你吃什么喝什么，是否吸烟、锻炼或睡眠是否充足。
