>> Baloney, the rise in insurance rates is the slowest in years. I think you don't understand the issue. What matters is the cost of health care. That is a different thing from the price of health insurance. I know this subject well and I cannot prove your statement is true. Or false. Nor mine. The data simply isn't coherent enough. That is the honest truth. But what we do know is the out of pocket expense that ordinary people have to spend to get health care has skyrocketed. And we know why it happened. If you care to support your claims I'll certainly take time to support mine. But I'm familiar enough with the data that I recognize there is not any analysis on the subject that isn't biased.

Koan I wonder whether you have done much thinking on the subject of automation and robotics with respect to the near term, intermediate, and long term economic and resultant social consequences? I'm thinking maybe over the next 15, 25 and 35 year horizons? How do you see these changes affecting the lives of ordinary people, their wealth and status? You got any thinking on this?
