My Personal Motto "Remain calm, be kind, and carry on regardless!" The first two are from Seneca & the Stoics via Colin Powell. The last is a British expression that I think is associated with WWII when the bombs were falling all around.

This one graphic is an indictment of American Health Care...
"The U.S. stands alone, far from its peers. We spend roughly twice as much as other western countries for mediocre results. We seem to be exceptionally bad at living longer lives by spending more on healthcare." (from the book I'm writing)
This is because we don't have an actual system. Just a cobbled together collection of public and private silos with lots of holes in between. Such a non-system is an invitation for waste, abuse, and outright fraud.
"American Exceptionalism" indeed!
