A talk and article on the true cost of healthcare (https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/05/us-health-care-system.aspx?e_cid=20131005Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20131005Z1) vs what the party-line is about it. A well-done presentation on why healthcare costs are increasing; it's not because the actual costs of tests, treatments and medications are increasing.
Examples:
Brand name drugs cost as much as 100 times generics;
The true costs of lab tests are far less than hospitals tend to charge.
Hospital bills are grossly inflated.
The talk is by David Belk, MD, an Alameda doctor, who has a short book that covers all the info on his web site (https://truecostofhealthcare.org/).
