If I had to guess, I’d go with “lives longer” as well as healthier and happier.
The medical establishment almost killed my husband several times with their treatments. We used to trust modern medicine, but that experience made us wake up and do our own research before blindly following doctors’ advice, and we have been appalled at what we’ve discovered.

Good for you. I mainly had in mind emergency care, like traumatic injury or specific illnesses that blow up and can be treated with modern techniques. I was only in the hospital once in my life for other than minor injuries, at age 5, for appendicitis, but I presumably would have died then if not for the surgery and care.
I figure the odds of things like that stack up against us over time, and probably reduce our life expectancy if we are without any health care at all. But I agree with you strongly that, aside from those emergencies, we are generally much better off without drugs, just taking care of ourselves sensibly and living healthily.
The establishment nearly killed my dad by over treating him. He had a stage one prostate cancer at 80 years old. Probability of dying from it was basically nil. Yet they prescribed 15 rounds of radiation hell for him. 6 months after the radiation and surgery he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and was told that it was due to the radiation being improperly administered! The treatment literally gave him cancer. This is the current state of medicine.

I'm terrified of having an emergency and having to go to a hospital.
Yes, casts on broken arms, appendectomies, stitches for deep cuts, glasses and contact lenses…. Otherwise, no thanks!
Yep. As I recall someone else saying: modern healthcare is great for treating traumatic issues. Not so good for chronic illnesses.
