Morality, Not Markets, Is The Heart of Healthcare →
Deregulation to make market work ‘better’ in healthcare, and to ‘empower’ consumers in the market, really only **serves one purpose: to strengthen the position of those market participants with the most power and information, the insurers. **

There’s a hypothesis that chronic fatigue is caused by an infection that has never been fully recovered from, like the immune system is stuck in the “on” position. You know how sometimes your brain gets foggy and you feel run down? And you’re not really sure if it’s the sickness, or he medicine you’ve taken?
I had a good three or four days last week, and I was...
