Healthcare Myths

Interesting opinion on Healthcare reform forwarded to me by Taylor Meyer. I think the author's points about how the US subsidizes Med Device & Drug development are right on. While everyone wants cost containment, it will make developing new treatments much more unlikely as investment dollars dry up in the system.

The author goes a bit off the rails mid-way through so I don't endorse his more extremist political views, but I think the points he makes earlier in the piece are worth posting.
