Poverty without question

A lot of illness comes from Poverty. Poverty also necessitates extensive use of cheap energy resources which damages our planet.

If you make everyone affluent enough to, let's say, have a home and toss some solar panels on it? No Poverty removes a lot of government funding needed for homelessness and hunger and health.

Affluence also impacts overall intelligence and access to school and such.

ending poverty will help end sickness in the poorest areas of the world. Allowing people access to treatment would be an effect, and then they still have the benefit of not being empoverished.

Would you rather be poor and healthy, or rich and sick? Well, you've probably been healthy and sick, but most people who are poor have never been rich; most people who are rich have never been poor.
