Health is often discussed in a way that would imply it is a given untill old age. It is a mindset that is flawed and dismissive of the many factors that can impact our health at any age. It ignores genetic predispositions, accidents and injuries, age related complications, conditions that develop with unknown causes, complications caused by other illnesses e.g stokes, etc.
It is necessary for there to be a shift away from the idea that health is a given, to one where it has an expiration date. With that viewpoint in mind, I ask why does society remain as inaccessible as it currently is? The majority of us will, at some point in our lives experience a level of disability. Despite this accessibility across the board is not where it needs to be to make life equally accessible for all.
Health expires, so why does accessibility remain an afterthought?
