The Cure Industry: How Pharma Turns Illness Into Revenue, Part 2 🥼 [View all]

[appalachiablue]

Offended Outcast (13 mins). "The Sickness Economy"

- Description: In Part 1, (below) we talked about how the food system quietly made us sick.
In Part 2, we talk about what happens next, when the pharmaceutical industry steps in to "help."

Modern healthcare didn't fail by accident. It changed incentives. Cures went out of fashion, management became the business model.

The perfect customer isn't healthy and they aren't dead. The perfect customer is alive, sick, compliant and blamed for their own condition.

In this episode we break down: how chronic illness became recurring revenue, why so many medications "manage" instead of "resolve," why shame protects industry profits, how media helps normalize sickness and what agency looks like for ordinary people.

This isn't about rejecting medicine. This is about rejecting a system that monetized suffering. You weren't meant to be manageable. You were meant to be human.
