They’re Keeping You Alive, But Are You Living? Life-Span vs Health-Span, and Why Prevention Is the Only Game Worth Playing

They’ll keep you alive, sure. Hook you up to machines, load you with meds, and celebrate your 85th birthday in a hospital gown. But what about actually living? This isn’t about more years on the calendar. It’s about better ones. Health-span is the decade most folks lose before the grave — and the system’s not built to stop it. Prevention doesn’t pay, so you don’t get it. You want real answers, not another prescription? You’re gonna have to fight for them. Read this before your next doctor visit. Because staying alive isn’t enough anymore. Not if you’re not living.
