We’re in the throes of a few crisis in the US:

1. a professional backlash against the over-prescription of opiates that were advertised as “non-addictive” which was actually a lie,
2. the monster the above crisis created: a domestic population of drug addicts who are either seeking drugs themselves or looking to non-addicts to acquire them,
3. constriction within the health insurance marketplace, demanding more and more justification for care and drug access,
4. an entire political system that’s in the pocket of said industry who are incentivized to manufacture a world that maximizes health care spending while minimizing actual health care delivered.

Mittens just wants to explain how worm holes work.
