@codinghorror@infosec.exchange the US started diverging from the rest of the developed world around 1980. Who could have imagined Reagan's "Greed is good" ethos would lead to wide-scale looting in the health care sector? /s

@fazalmajid@social.vivaldi.net @codinghorror@infosec.exchange It’s a wee bit nuanced. The US spends vast sums at end of life in comparison to other countries. Also our health insurance system is broken and the fact that we pay insurance via work and not via the Government makes things more expensive.
