Kids Prefer Cheese: The laws of health care

Friday, September 23, 2011

1. Everyone Dies!

2. No amount of taxation can reverse #1.

3. Much of our health care spending is wasteful

1 and 2 are golden. need more good ones though.

Thanks and apologies (but no blame) to Dan Diamond, Austin Frakt, & Don Taylor.

Medicine does not scale as well as we'd like.

The fruits of healthcare are quite high hanging.

Healthcare develops in fits and starts.
