Reclaim Your Health, Reclaim Your Dignity
A weekend call for individuals to take back control by advocating for change and re-evaluating their role within the healthcare system. #reclaim
Health is deeply personal.
Even among close friends, we’re often cautious about sharing too much, wary of burdening them with responsibility or exposing our vulnerabilities. This reluctance creates a gap—one where meaningful experiences that could genuinely help us are left unspoken.
This hesitation reflects a broader systemic issue, especially in healthcare. We’ve ceded ownership to insurance companies and bureaucracies, leaving even caregivers and medical professionals constrained. They’re trapped in a system that prioritizes profit over people, navigating a maze of restrictions instead of providing the care we truly need.
Our personal data is shared with the healthcare system, only to be monopolized and exploited by third parties. The value extracted from this data serves everyone but us, while we’re left footing exorbitant, unjustified bills.
The problem lies in a monopolistic, decayed operating model that strips away accountability and true ownership. The result? A complex, inefficient system that leaves us with no control, no dignity, and few options.
But imagine a world where we could seek help from our closest networks without fear of losing privacy. Where tools existed to protect our boundaries while empowering meaningful connections. Where health advice didn’t have to come at the cost of dignity.
It’s time to take a stand. Reevaluate your role in this system. Advocate for change. Demand better solutions that respect your privacy, your data, and your humanity.
We have lost our dignity in health too.
Reclaim your ownership this weekend.
This is the third thought note from the Reclaim Collection, introducing the Weekend Network and exploring the journey toward reclaiming ownership in our digital lives.
