In general, riskier ones and less obvious ones come from entrepreneurs.
Here's another question for you: When you incentivize people with money to become doctors, what kind of doctors do you end up with versus when you incentivize them with an actual interest in helping people?
As we've seen, the money incentive has a good way of getting doctors who are interested in helping people.
And a third question: Are you happy as an individual paying five times what you should for health care so big pharma can jack off over your retirement fund?
It's terrible. I hate that we have monopolized the industry so intensely.
Are you five times healthier than someone in another Western country - are you getting your money's worth out of the US system?
If we're talking about money that the monopoly takes from me without my consent, no I am not getting my worth out of that. If we're talking about the money that I use to buy healthcare, I'm not even putting any money into the system because virtually everything I'd like to buy is illegal, made illegal by the monopoly.
