I don't talk often about the band I'm in, Shellac of North America, because I don't like promotion or anything that feels like promotion. I'm making an exception because Lin Bremer has died, and the affection people felt for him was deserved. (thread)

"The US spends more on health care than any other country. However, on most measures of health services use, the US is below the OECD median. These facts suggest that the difference in spending is caused mostly by higher prices for health care goods and services in the US."
