Progressive Leaders Join Elon Musk in Critiquing American Healthcare Costs
I believe that, while the quality of healthcare in the US is good, as long as you can afford it, Musk cannot just lower costs without understanding why they are high. A key issue will be the culture of profit before people will be hard to shake. Except for doctors and nurses, everyone involved is out to make profits, from the hospital administrators to pharmaceutical companies. I once had a discussion with an American economist about the pros and cons of the health systems in the EU and US. He was proud that a European hospital was forced to send a patient to the US because it had treatment unavailable in the EU. However, my point was, the patient would not have to pay for the treatment in the US, while an insurance company in the US would unlikely pay for someone to receive specialist treatment in the EU if unavailable in the US. The capitalist system was supposed to lead to lower prices due to competition, but the USA has the highest heal costs of any country in the world. So, what can Musk do? It isn't as if everyone in the US can afford healthcare, let alone the same healthcare as Musk. Hence the poor lifespan compare to similar countries. Moreover, there is an entrenched for-profit mindset that will keep cost to consumers high. -

Google's Quantum Chip "Willow" and Bitcoin
"At least for now.." Supposedly, this new chip could provide a means to "brute force" its way past the traditional encryption of the blockchain. That's been a concern for years, but now it may be possible. Anyway, although I do have some Bitcoin and some other cryptos, I haven't actively followed the space e lately. Assuming the concern is valid, have they now developed any additional layers of protection over and above the traditional passwords? -

Police are interviewing suspect in killing of health insurance CEO
Headline today NY Times: That Manhunt Photo Looks Like a Loved One. Do You Have to Tell? Photos of the suspect in the killing of the UnitedHealthcare C.E.O. were circulated by the police and viewed by millions of Americans, making it likely that at least a few people who saw them recognized him. (At least in NY State, no.)
