Universal health and healthcare for everyone on Earth and beyond

My esteemed colleagues,

The Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle, or We-Me Explorers Cycle for short, enables the Health Care for All on Earth concept.   The only problem is that I see a shortage of doctors, but expanding the number of doctors without borders seems to address it.  Likewise, there is the concept of bringing patients to other areas of the world with more technology and capabilities to treat people who are ill.  The shortage of doctors can be addressed, too, because the Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle, or We-Me Explorers Cycle for short, promotes healthy living and learning as much as we can about everyone, everything, and everywhere on Earth, thereby fostering a concept of holistic prevention.  So, it really is a concept of holistic adaptation more towards a desirable future condition.  Most importantly, as I have indicated in my other papers, the affordability problem is solved because health insurance is spread among 8 billion people. This pool enables all of us on Earth to take care of one another.   Unless health insurance becomes obsolete, it seems to solve the problem for everyone on earth.   With the cycle, we can study areas of ill health and send more people, such as doctors, to help.   We can also use Geographic Information Systems to help explain why we have so much ill health in certain areas. I hypothesize that it has something to do with industrial earth (dynamic, confined, and compartmentalized, kings, castles, and kingdoms) and its practices.   It may be the concept of the cumulative totality of pollution concentrations and pollution exclusion, whereby the more industrial earth practices that you put in an area, the more ill people seem to be.   Hence, war is the ultimate industrial earth activity, and I have noticed that children, in particular, in regions of the Gaza Strip and elsewhere on earth, are exhibiting symptoms and signs of being extremely ill.  Likewise, we can think of healthcare as climbing a mountain, and GIS helps us visualize the areas on Earth where healthcare is needed, so we can attack the problem by climbing it.   If we have no borders, like Doctors Without Borders, we can have a dynamic, fluid help team that climbs the mountain together anywhere on earth.   Therefore, the We-Me Explorers cycle ought to be a desired future condition in the short term so that we can have planetary health in the long term.   It creates universal healthcare for everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth.  However, I’m not sure whether it should be an insurance function or simply universal healthcare for everyone as an ecological equilibrium compensation concept.   Either way, the desired future condition far surpasses the current condition as a desirable outcome.   

I am writing to articulate a comprehensive vision for global well-being, spearheaded by the Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle, or simply the We-Me Explorers Cycle. This initiative is designed to fundamentally redefine healthcare, transforming the aspiration of universal health for all inhabitants of Earth into a tangible reality.

One of the most pervasive obstacles to global health equity is the uneven distribution of medical expertise and resources. While the notion of expanding efforts akin to “Doctors Without Borders” is commendable, the We-Me Cycle proposes a more integrated strategy. This includes not only deploying highly mobile, interdisciplinary medical teams to underserved regions but also facilitating access to advanced medical centers for patients requiring specialized care currently unavailable in their locales. Crucially, the We-Me Cycle champions a paradigm of proactive, holistic prevention, fostering widespread health literacy and promoting well-being across all communities. Our aim is to cultivate a global culture where comprehensive knowledge about human and planetary health empowers individuals to lead healthier lives, thereby mitigating the burden on curative healthcare systems.

Beyond access, the economic burden of healthcare remains a formidable barrier for billions. My proposition, elaborated upon in previous discussions, addresses this through an innovative global solidarity model. By establishing a universal health insurance framework, the financial risk is distributed across Earth’s entire population of 8 billion. This unprecedented pooling of resources transforms healthcare from an exclusive commodity into a universal right, ensuring that no individual is deprived of essential medical attention due to financial constraints. Such a collective endeavor would render current affordability challenges obsolete, leveraging the power of collective responsibility.

Furthermore, the We-Me Cycle endeavors to systematically uncover and address the root causes of ill health, particularly geographical disparities. Through the sophisticated application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and advanced data analytics, we can precisely map disease prevalence and correlate it with environmental, industrial, and socio-economic factors. My hypothesis suggests a significant link between the cumulative ecological burden – stemming from concentrated industrial Earth practices, pollution concentrations, and pervasive environmental degradation – and heightened health crises in affected populations. Indeed, the devastating health consequences of large-scale human activities, including armed conflict, are starkly evident in regions like the Gaza Strip, where children exhibit alarming rates of illness. By understanding these intricate connections, we can move beyond treating symptoms to dismantling the systemic drivers of ill health.

Conceptualizing the journey toward universal health as scaling a formidable mountain, GIS acts as our indispensable guide, illuminating the most challenging terrain and pinpointing critical areas of need. Embracing a borderless philosophy, akin to the ethos of “Doctors Without Borders,” and the We-Me Explorers cycle will enable dynamic, agile global teams to collaborate seamlessly, collectively ascending this challenge. The We-Me Explorers Cycle is not merely a short-term project; it is an essential strategic imperative designed to lay the groundwork for enduring planetary health. It promises to cultivate conditions for universal healthcare, ensuring comprehensive well-being for everyone, everywhere.

While the precise mechanism—whether structured as a global insurance function or as a more expansive ecological equilibrium compensation model—warrants further strategic deliberation, the overarching goal remains resolute. The desired future state, characterized by unprecedented access, affordability, and preventative health, unequivocally surpasses our current global health landscape.

Sincerely,

Richard Thomas Simmons
