What money can do is buy better medical care.

Money can buy you the affordability for good health. For example most healthy foods are more expensive than junk or unhealthy foods. It's How you spend that money and on what that provides you with the foundation for a healthier lifestyle. But the genes you inherit also play a role in one's health and all the money in the world has no control over that...

Well it can extend life but there’s no assurance of healing it. I think rich and moneyed people ca buy extension of life than those that are poor and have no money. Once they are afflicted by disease they rely on faith and hope that they will be cured or at least get out of it.

While money has limitations, it helps a lot to stay healthy as one can buy healthier food and have more time to relax and enjoy sleep as they can easily pay all their bills.

Money cannot buy health. If a person is sick, they are sick. Money may buy them better health care for a short period of time depending on what the nature of their illness is.

Perhaps it cant buy health but it can make staying healthy easier. We can afford better diets and have less stress if we have money so it does contribute to our health and well being. Also it makes being ill a whole lot easier if you can afford aids and help.

With money you can pay for the best care. In my country you can pay for a private hospital if you have money. That way you can avoid the long waiting lists at the public hospitals. You can also pay for treatment abroad. Money gives you access to better care - but some health problems can't be cured no matter how much money you have.

I have to agree with @JohnRoberts that money can buy good medical insurance and certainly pay for doctors care if you have any health issues.
