The DBOTW thread on the $89,000 price tag of the MS drug reminded me of this recent article. Very long read, but pretty interesting.

Interesting. Seems like it belongs in the issues thread:

Quote:
I’m more worried about the part where the cost of basic human needs goes up faster than wages do. Even if you’re making twice as much money, if your health care and education and so on cost ten times as much, you’re going to start falling behind. Right now the standard of living isn’t just stagnant, it’s at risk of declining, and a lot of that is student loans and health insurance costs and so on.

What’s happening? I don’t know and I find it really scary.
