Definition of Health: the state of being free from illness or injury (noun). The word health refers to a state of complete emotional and physical well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Healthcare exists to help people maintain this optimal state of health. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), healthcare costs in the USA were $3.5 trillion in 2017. 

However, despite this expenditure, people in the U.S. have a lower life expectancy than people in other developed countries. This is due to a variety of factors, including access to healthcare and lifestyle choices. (MedicalNewsToday, 4/19/2020) Health is "A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities".
