The High Cost of Healthcare:
Inspired by newsletter subscriber Jun Arranguez’s email question: “Why was a medicine $1,500 at my local drug store, but $2,000 at the hospital?”
 
Questions:
Who is The Food & Drug Administration?
Why is healthcare so expensive?  (high technology vs high price mean price should be cheaper).
Why are drugs so expensive? (Cartel Monopoly or free market?)

Recommendation:

http://www.realityzone.com (books on health issues)

Action:
Make a commitment to improve your health.
Start with something small.
The healthier we are, the less we need the industry.
