The aim is to contribute to the comprehensive knowledge of human health, which does not revolve only around diseases, but rather combines them with good practices for healthy living, which is a diverse construction of human well-being. To this end, health cannot continue to be considered only as a care and/or preventive-promotional service, but must also be combined with what it means to build good living. Within these different interrelated considerations, the development of the labor-value theory is centered and/or specified, which in its millennial evolution of production modes and corresponding civilizations, maintains a continuum of different contradictions, where it is not recognized that work is the main source of wealth, capital, human well-being and growth-development of markets. The study specifies that the commercialization of health services and in general of the production of goods and services, permeate an economy-finance that deifies the market. This is the main reason why comprehensive health cannot be made a social and productive investment, as well as a social good and human right. The study tries to contribute to reversing these harmful tendencies of a system where the production of goods and services (merchandise) is dogmatized, which subsumes and/or includes social goods. This is a serious distortion that turns human beings into simple user-consumers.
