Interesting article. I think, however, if we are doing to do anything effective about the problem, it will happen only if we examine in detail those countries that don't have the same problems. For instance, many Western European countries have very good health care for far less expense, and besides that the doctors enjoy their work. What we need to do is compare in detail how those health care systems work differently such that there are such good results, and then figure out how to make something similar in this country. Ditto for the other areas. I can think of no sensible reason for not doing such studies. Of course, various groups wouldn't want this because it would run counter to their ideology or financial interests, but this is the right way to go about it.
