There are many superficial, misleading, skewed, and half-true statements about our healthcare crisis, from many people. Solutions are contradictory. Much is hidden. This site is my personal attempt to understand the complex issues at a systems level. I'm not a doctor, but you'll see I don't hide the interests I do have. Honestly, the main reason I'm doing this is that I love living here. I'm not sure it would be worth the safety risk to stay if healthcare degrades much further.
