Looking for some boring stuff to read to improve my VR, but came across this.

It is quite long, but basically talks about why in this one town, the average salary is like 12,000 per person, while the average medicare cost is like 15,000.

I haven't finished reading it myself.

Just noticed it is also in the Topics in Healthcare forum. But this is a great read, and I wouldn't have found it there, so I am sure a few others might not have either.
