Which is more important to you money or health?

Health is a complete necessity in life and if one doesn't have, they will eventually die while money these days is just as important. They say money talks and of course that's true. If you have money, provided that good health care and medicine is available, your health is almost guaranteed. If you have your health and sanity, you will have a chance to make a lot of money provided that you have the means and resources.
As you can see, both interchangeably depend upon each other but if you had to choose one, which one would you choose and why?

I suppose ultimately choosing health would be the way to go if you were interested primarily in your longevity. That said, your health is almost guaranteed to suffer in one form or another if you don't have a sufficient supply of money.

As someone who would choose money anyway in a variety of situations, I think it also makes sense to choose money in this case. There is no magic fairy guaranteeing that some kind of surgery won't be needed at some point. When it comes to getting the kind of health care that you want, money is extremely important.

Health insurance companies never cover everything. There will always be really great surgeries out there that will have to be paid for in cash. If you need one, having the money available is the only option.

What if it is something that can not be operated on or treated to a point of complete control or remission. A life longer? All the money in the world can't help.

If money is lost, something is lost, but if health is lost, everything is lost. That is why I give more importance to health rather than money.

One can not by health with all the money in the world..

So obviously health is far more important than ALL the money in the world.

I would go with my health as well. At first I actually considered saying money as money could secure my families health, but then after thinking about it my family loves me very much and my health is just as important to their happiness as money is.

You can be poor and happy, being sick and happy is a bit more difficult, and being dead and happy well, that's likely impossible as I don't think the dead feel much. If I have my health I have the opportunity to become wealthy at a later date, where as if I don't have my health but I have money there is little left to do but die. I would hope my death would not bring anyone happiness lol

Money is not an end in itself, but rather the means to an end. Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy comfort which contributes to happiness. It can't buy health, but it can buy medicine. It can't buy love, but it can buy romantic dates, and so on. Truthfully, you can attain the most important things in life without money, even if you have to try a little harder.

Good health, on the other hand, is an end. That's the one I would choose, for that reason alone. However, it's also worth noting that in America, if you have good health and a willingness to work there's no reason you can't have money too. The converse is not always true though.

I would want my health. With my health I can always make money but money cannot always buy health. And in today's society I see all these people who can't afford healthcare and are given Gov. cards to pay for it and at the same levels as others. I even see it at the pharmacy people who pay a couple of dollars for what I pay hundreds. But if you have ever seen anyone who lives in constant pain I think they would give up all their money for health.

Health for me. I have had both, good money and good health. Great times. Then no money but good health. Some days were better than others but I started to really apprieciate all of the beauty around me. Kinda happy go lucky. My money issues took an amazing turn for the better while my health took a major and permanate turn for the worse. Now I am at this point in time. Over the last 15 or so years I have experienced such a broad array of life. And that's just it. Life. It is where all of my joy was produced from. The money helped and was nice so..... I want the best Health- mental and physical I can have. So I can live and be able to enjoy all there is. Can't do it dead or laid up in bed. I can do it damn near broke.

Of course, the "Condundrum" posed by this question is that's impossible to be both less-than wealthy and enjoy good health simultaneously. Lacking Universal (i.e.: affordable) Healthcare in the United States, one has to be either rich or poor. Pity the person who falls somewhere between the two. The abjectly poor qualify for Medicaid and the well-off qualify for health insurance that doesn't cost half of one's monthly income.
For that reason, I would say that it's more important to be wealthy, in which case one is in the position to pay for dental problems (tooth decay and peridontal diseases which lead to a myriad of systemic problems, such as decreased immune response and serious cardiac involvement). A wealthy person is able to pay for state-of-the art eye problems (deteriorating vision caused by cataracts, glaucoma, or just plain astigmatism and near- or far-sightedness. A surprising number of fatal accidents are caused by poor vision).
The problem is that some less-expensive medical insurance programs don't cover dental and eye-care. Medicare doesn't cover routine dental and eye-care and such coverage has to be supplied by "private" providers, ultimately raising the monthly cost of Medicare from $154 to as much as $354 for single-person coverage, not to mention an additional $60 per month to get a discount on prescriptions. For those who were never wealthy and rely on receiving monthly payments because they contributed for 50 or more years into the Social Security Insurance program, continued health coverage is less than cheap.
So, yes! I would choose weath, because in our current scheme of things, you can "buy" health....

My source, when speaking of Medicare "Plans A and B" are from personal experience. I was much better off, medical-insurance wise, when I was working and paying only $60 per month for an all-inclusive insurance plan through my employer.
