How do "alternative medicines" uphold the medical industrial complex?

How do we begin dreaming up health systems centered around the people who need them most, instead of just the people who have most access?

From @mia.mingus "The Medical Industrial Complex is an enormous system with tentacles that reach beyond simply doctors, nurses, clinics, and hospitals. It is a system about profit, first and foremost, rather than “health,” wellbeing and care. Its roots run deep and its history and present are connected to everything including eugenics, capitalism, colonization, slavery, immigration, war, prisons, and reproductive oppression. It is not just a major piece of the history of ableism, but all systems of oppression"
