Progressive Leaders Join Elon Musk in Critiquing American Healthcare Costs
Some industries are regulated. Electric utility companies, for example, are usually privately held businesses. Their rates are regulated so as to allow for a fair return on capital. Or at least that's the theory. It seems to work better in some states than it does in others. Regulate medical care in a similar fashion? That would mean set prices for medical procedures and for drugs. Not quite a similar situation, though. And electron running through power lines is the same as every other electron, without distinction. But medical care? How would you account for factors that are difficult to measure? Take heart surgeons, for example. Some are highly skilled and at the top of their profession. Others may sometimes be on the verge of losing their license. Should we pay both doctors the same for the same procedure? Should we pay for mediocrity, only? You get what you pay for. In other words, you'd end up with a medical system that's only mediocre. Given the current structure of the political system, making those kinds of changes would likely prove impossible. The drug companies have too many lobbyists. The AMA has lots of lobbyists. The hospitals and other care facilities have lobbyists. And congress doesn't seem to care about its constituents. Only those making big campaign contributions. -

90 day report in Bangkok - how bad is it now?

I'm stuck going out there this next week because my online reporting was just rejected. A report from someone who has had to get in the queue would be nice. -

Is 1 million baht enough to retire in Thailand?
No, of course it won't be enough. The solution should be rather obvious: Work until you either get your government pension or have amassed enough savings. -
