Money can’t buy you happiness but it may just buy you “good
health”. It does not take a rocket scientist to see that a person who has a lot
of money is more likely to be healthy. Wealthy individuals have better access
to medical care and insurance.
Majority of normal working class Americans cannot afford out of pocket
medical expenses. A 50,000 dollar medical bill would take a toll on a person’s
credit which is basically every aspect of their life. This is why many people
refuse to go to the doctor just for normal screenings or for complications
because they cannot afford the outrageous bill. This is not a problem to
wealthy people because money is not an issue. If the whole country could afford
a personal chief and a personal trainer then the world could be a much
healthier place. There are numerous resources that are readily available to the
wealthy. The chief could cook them the healthy meals that they need for good
nutrition. Who is more susceptible to disease? Shelton Cohen and Carnegie Mellon
(Psychologist) performed an experiment on how health is related to social class.
They asked, “Did your parents own their own home as a child”. After people
answered a cold virus was then squirted into their noses. The conclusion to
this experiment was that if you answered yes then you were less likely to catch
a cold than those who answered no. There is a question that is still at large;
Can money buy you “Good Health”?
