Regarding healthcare here is some perspective versus other nations from Visual Capitalist: U.S Healthcare is a Global Outlier, and Not in a Good Way visualcapitalist.com The graph of costs versus life expectancy is important to think about. This shows that other countries actually have healthcare while in the U.S. we have maximized profits extraction from the public. There is no other way I can see this. Why? No enforcement of R.I.C.O. laws within the healthcare industry because Congress and the Executive branch is owned by big money. Karl Denninger (a libertarian) has been blogging about this for literally decades. Look for his posts tagged with Healthcare Reform. He also has interesting things to say under Personal Health. Karl is an ex-CEO of a technology firm and is a really bright guy but his comments have been described as bombastic at times. He cuts right to the chase and doesn't back off. market-ticker.org See also Chris Martenson's "Mad As Hell" post at Peak Prosperity where he describes his personal experiences. peakprosperity.com Another comment that is spot on: businessinsider.com I have come to the conclusion that quality healthcare at a reasonable price for everyone can never come from market solutions because markets are there to maximize profits. In healthcare maximizing profits means bankrupting the maximum number of people who have any significant illness. Thanks to Congress, that is exactly what we are stuck with in the U.S. Healthcare in the U.S. is a scam - no other way to describe it honestly. I've just touched the surface on this topic.
