Before & After

Before

In the United States, healthcare is a very controversial issue, with one side claiming it is a right and the other side claiming it is a privilege. Many people don’t get healthcare because they don’t have medical insurance coverage, and the priorities in healthcare are largely dominated by money and finance rather than providing appropriate care to the population. There are so many problems with the healthcare system and it is so complex that it is a huge and costly sector of our society. The healthcare system is so big and demands so much of our resources and labor, largely because we have an unhealthy population due to poor diet, lack of exercise, poisons in our food, pollution, tobacco use, substance abuse, alcoholism, dependency on pharmaceuticals, and numerous other conditions we have brought upon ourselves. The bloated healthcare system is a consequence of having such an unhealthy population and being controlled by a giant bureaucracy with a massive administrative overhead focused on managing the finances of the system.

After

Nutopia focuses first and foremost on keeping its citizens healthy, because preventative care requires significantly less resources to maintain a healthy population. A number of measures are taken to ensure optimum health for citizens in Nutopia:

• No tobacco use.
• No harmful drugs or substances.
• Limits on alcohol consumption.
• No poisons in food.
• Balanced meals offered to encourage healthy diet.
• Comprehensive preventative healthcare.
• Abundant access to leisure activities for increased exercise.
• No environmental hazards.
• No injuries from automobile accidents.
• No injuries from fires or other consequences of poorly designed buildings.

The number of labor resources required for healthcare in a Nutopia community is extremely low not because its size is restricted and it fails to meet the needs of the citizens, but because the demand for care is greatly reduced because of the preventative measures taken. Comprehensive preventative healthcare, increased health through proper nutrition, the absence of tobacco, the absence of harmful drugs, the absence of alcohol abuse, the absence of automotive accidents, the absence of injuries from fire and other causes due to poor construction of buildings, and the absence of obesity caused by poor diet and lack of exercise, all significantly reduce the requirement for healthcare. As with every other sector in the Nutopia community, the number of resources and the labor used for healthcare is carefully calculated so that the right amount is allocated for the demand.
