Good point about health care

Submitted by Philip Brewer on September 9, 2007 - 17:40.

Of course, even if you get all your health care in emergency rooms, you're still probably getting better care now than you would have in the 1950s or 1960s.  You certainly are if you have some common, serious illness like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or the like.

The best possible care of the 1960s would be considered malpractice nowadays.
