Picking up on something posted above, I would note that increased efficacy of health has to date exponentially increased costs. I used to have to grin and bear my little skin disease; now it is largely kept at bay, at a cost for the drugs and administration that runs close to 10 grand per year. Medical technology is eating us alive financially. It is not a sustainable proposition. The triage and rationing by whatever device will become ever more explicit and omnipresent. There is really no way out of the box. None. Suggestions to the contrary by politicians of all stripes is little more than disingenuous cant in my opinion.
