Pricele$$: The Failure of U.S. Healthcare Spending (w/Infographic)selfnews Post But mockery is built into the whole U.S. medical paradigm, which has made health an increasingly labyrinthine and costly proposition. People are awash in pharmaceuticals, psychotropics, and every manner of artificiality to supposedly heal their ailments real or imagined. And they continue to get sicker.

You be the judge.
