What is infrastructure? Bridges, tunnels, and roads; telephone lines, T-1 cables, and satellites; money itself, credit cards, and financial systems; etc. Infrastructure is the underpinning of a modern society that facilitates production of goods and services. Health should be considered a form of infrastructure. Any nation that seeks to produce (and consume) goods and services needs producers and consumers who are healthy and live a long time, just the way a nation needs long-lasting roads and reliable telephone lines. Do we maintain and repair our bridges, roads and telephone lines?
