Health System Issues

Introduction

Men’s Health tends to receive a minuscule amount of state-funded support in comparison to Women’s Health, Indigenous Health and the numerous feminist issues that have no relation to the actual survival or protection of the general populace.

Suicide Issues - Lack of Funding For Men's Health

The lack of state-funding for men’s health issues has led to an exponential increase in the amount of men who commit suicide - with at least 80% of all persons who commit suicide being male.

The demographic of men aged from 25-44 are more likely to commit suicide than any other group of people - however the state refuses to acknowledge the situation. Instead, they prefer to meet the demands of the special interests groups such as the Youth, Aborigine and Homosexual populace.

Suicide Issues - The Derivation of Male Suicide

The extremely high suicide rate among the 25-44 year-old demographic of men is derived from the anti-male nature of the law system, as it causes men to endure an immense amount of discrimination and oppression.

  1. The anti-male nature of the Family Court and the Law System in general causes men to endure a greater amount of injustice, financial loss and emotion suffering than women during the procedure of divorce.
  2. As a result the women who make false accusations of child abuse, child sexual abuse, rape and domestic violence during divorce hearings are given impunity and are often awarded custodial access of the children, spousal support and the financial assets that belong to their husbands.
  3. Since women are able to gain so much from the anti-male system, over two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women.

The implementation of socialist-feminist ideology has led to a greater amount of taxpayers' resources being handed over to the feminist institutions (Child Support Agencies and Battered Women's Shelters). The state receives a great deal of money in the form of federal grants for the amount of money they collect in child support, so they are keen to collect as much money as possible - regardless of whether their method is corrupt.

As a result the concept of paternity fraud is actually legal and men who are falsely accused of paternity can be forced to pay child support for children they are not biologically related to - even if they provide a DNA test that proves they are not the biological father of the child in question. In some areas the amount of men who are paying child support for children they are not biologically related to has risen to 30%.

The amount of financial loss, depression, oppression and discrimination that such a system causes the men of society is immense, and explains why the separated-men of society are 18 times more likely than separated women to commit suicide.

Disease Issues - Men Are At Greater Risk Than Women

Men possess a higher death rate than woman for the ten leading causes of death; however the Government only provides a state-funded health department for women. The Office of Women's Health receives a large amount of state-funding in order to remain active and even though men are at greater risk than women - the state still refuses to offer an equivalent service for men.

Prostate Cancer Research Is Underfunded In Comparison To Breast Cancer Research

The non-existence of a successful treatment program for Prostate Cancer is derived from the lack of funding that is given to the research of the disease. The amazing advances that have been made in the treatment of Breast Cancer is stemmed from the amount of funding that the Breast Cancer Research program has received over the decades. The two forms of cancer seem to be as problematic as each other, however Breast Cancer Research receives at least 75% MORE funding than Prostate Cancer Research.

Quick Statistics

  • The United Kingdom Government and the Leading Charity spent at least £36,800,000 on Breast Cancer issues over the last year of available statistics.
  • The United Kingdom Government and Leading Charity spent only £9,700,000 on Prostate Cancer issues over the last year of available statistics.
  • The NHS spends £72,000,000 each year on the National Breast Screening Program - no such program exists for the treatment of Prostate Cancer.
