The OECD might disagree with you if you consider health spending per capita vs Life Expectancy as a metric. http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/life-expectancy-and-health-care-spending/

No, just pointing out that where the free market is not naturally predisposed to incentivize a solution, A non market based approach can yield a solution. (The Free Market is not the answer to everything; Sometimes Government directed efforts are)

Only for company's in capitalist systems. Government funded healthcare research doesn't have to be profit based ("for the greater good") . Hence the argument that company's prefer treatments / managed conditions - as they yield a recurring revenue stream, rather than cure's - which are one offs. Or where's the return on problems that only affect poor people ... Affluenza on the other hand ...

Care to name names , Justin (IYO obviously) ....

Admired the two baby hummingbirds in their nest in a tree outside our office.

Justin, maybe you need to come up a DAC with a laser engraved front panel, with blinkenlights, showing PCB (Placebo / Conformation Bias) Status, and locked Sampling Rate / Bit depth. It could go all the way to FOTM or ludicrous values (a la Spaceballs)
