I'm working on building a lifetime supply of some of my favorite supplements.
Imagine the illegal vitamin and mineral trade replacing the illegal drug trade. Instead of hidden meth labs, you will have hidden vitamin labs. Next thing you know we will be buying these supplements from street corners.

Speaking of trust, here's a brilliant idea. Why don't we all trust our health records to the Borg? I think I'll go sign up today.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('worrier', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')lease note from your own chart, life expectency went up by over 20 years from 1900-1950 but from 1950-2004 it only increased 10.
What do you mean "only 10 years"!? An increase in 10 years is huge. I can imagine the panic stricken screaching if life expectancy decreased 10 years.
What I mean was perfectly clear, the ammount of improvement from 1950-2004 was much smaller than the improvement from 1900-1950. Yet the incremental costs for the 1950-2004 period are at least one and often two orders of magnitude higher. If these are old wealthy people paying for their own health care more power to them, if on the other hand these are older poor people and I am paying for their health care......
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
