public health is based on the principle of utilitarianism with the greatest good for the greatest number of people

the opposite of that is private health, the optimization of your own body for your own good for your own longevity and health maximization

Love this idea man. What’s good for “all” is far too vague and doesn’t take into account individual genetics, environment, etc.

I view Public Health as almost Keynesian medicine. It places control of your health in the hands of a small centralized group of elites who don't see you as an individual human being, but as a data point to be manipulated to somehow improve the health of the overall society. But just like Keynesia...
