Well timed @nytimes piece on the Administrative Health Care Crisis in which the US "pays about $500 billion in administrative costs for health care, that is, for things like billing and insurance overhead, not for actual medical care" #healthcarereform nytimes.com/2019/12/04/opi…

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp
