Mengeksploitasi penyakit demi keuntungan
This book offers a critical analysis of how illness and healthcare are often exploited for economic gain. Waitzkin outlines the ways in which the healthcare system, instead of focusing solely on the well-being of patients, can be influenced by commercial motives and the interests of the medical industry. The book criticizes the reliance on expensive medical technology, the practice of overdiagnosis, as well as the role of pharmaceutical companies in influencing health policy. Waitzkin also explores the social and economic impact of profit-driven healthcare models, especially in terms of accessibility and health disparities. Using an interdisciplinary approach involving medical ethics, health economics, and social medicine, this book encourages readers to reconsider core values in healthcare. “Exploiting Disease for Profit” is essential reading for medical students, health professionals, health economists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics between health and economics. The book highlights the ethical challenges that arise when diseases are seen as business opportunities rather than as conditions that need to be addressed for the well-being of society.
