Health is something you safeguard, maintain and improve. Health involves getting and staying fit. Health covers eating well. Health is something you can celebrate.
"Health care" is a bit of a misnomer. You utilize health care when you are sick and need remedy. Perhaps "sick care" would be a more suitable term. What other terms do we use when we discuss health care that are a bit inaccurate?
Precision of language will help our understanding of health care and what to expect from it.
