"The most Important question is not what do you do, but What do you do for others?"

I disagree with the reason of "altruism" for contributing more to the system as a rich person. Improving health outcomes for the poor leads to improvements of the lives of the poor....which leads to more social cohesion and decreases in if you don't want to live in fear of being burgled/looted/mugged, then contributing to improving the lives of those less fortunate than you indirectly improves your life and the lives of your children. So not altruism....pure selfish interest of living in a healthy, happy, safe society without safe compounds and security guards and heavy-handed police

We need to strive to connect in a way where humanity becomes "as one man with one heart, " meaning that each of us feels everyone and wishes for the benefit of all.

I liked this speech very much! Thanks to organizators and Lieven, but how can pharmaceutical companies succeed without "sickness healthcare" system? Probably they should invest more money in preventive drugs, that's the future of pharmacoeconomics ..

Smokers actually make a positive contribution to the economy because most people actually use a similar amount of resources in their last year of death! Smokers die earlier and use less pensions.
