Crisis of Abundance. Americans have so much that we're literally killing ourselves with our lifestyle. Healthcare spending in America isn't healing the sick, it's either repairing the damaged or prolonging the life (and quality thereof) of the aged. But hey, numbers and stats.

I read a bio on Michael Crichton who in his younger days trained to become a doctor before abandoning the effort. It mentioned that he was rebuked by the hospital where he was in residence because of his willingness to tell many patients that their health problems were caused mainly by personal choices and not to expect doctors to be miracle workers to undo the damage they had created. 

Give me meds, not the truth.
