    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The article comments on healthcare reforms. The good news is that scientific medicine is tremendously effective in preserving life and quality of life, successfully treating an increasing number of conditions that were untreatable just a few decades ago. Healthcare spending will increase as populations increase. If medicine prolongs a patients life and activity, that patient will survive to develop additional medical conditions. Treat these successfully, and even more conditions will develop. Diseases from diabetes to dwarfism, from cancer to hemophilia to depression, have resolved into multiple conditions with distinct markers and distinct treatments.
