Spending Our Little Brains Out: Via Dr. Crippen's Grand Rounds, linked below, comes this frightening prophecy:

The really scary thing about healthcare is that, even though it's already the world's largest industry, it's now growing at about twice the rate of world GDP. What that means is that in less than a century it will account for the whole shebang. Which means there will be no cash for anything else. Think about it: sex, violence, flame-grills...everything we've come to stand for will be entirely squeezed out.

I ask you: is that really what we want?

Not I!
