I think we live under a biomedical tyranny

If I'm correctly interpreting the "Professional Services" dominating Virginia employment, that's even worse than the medical takeover everywhere else.

Professional Services is the most likely sector to contain non value adding "growth"

Health care spending subsidized by Medicaid and Medicare and Obama care

Obamacare seems like a symptom of already failing society-wide health.

reply

Obama care doubled down and exacerbated all the problems with the previous status quo

I agree, it made everything worse, but the fundamental problem was already deeply embedded.

The biggest problem now is every thing is ludicrously expensive

One big change was "essential health benefits" that eliminated 'cheap' catastrophic options

reply

Even those "cheap" options were ludicrously overpriced because of how screwed up everything about medical billing is. That mostly traces back to the weird way insurance became tied to employment.

At least before 2013, when Obama care took effect, the health care system was barely functioning. Today it is completely dysfunctional.

I think that was the plan
