      Here's a rebuttal to the recent piece on health care prices by me and @aaronecarrollhttps://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/its-not-the-prices-stupid-a-response-to-austin-frakts-and-aaron-carrolls-nytimes-article/ …

      .@tylercowen's piece on @rcadfm's analysis was clearer to a non-economist like me, and I thought it was intriguing. In sum: It's not the prices. The US spends 50% more on everything (gadgets, cars, houses). The data suggest healthcare is no different.https://bloom.bg/2CBUWKr

          I didn't find it very clear actually. "Consumption" doesn't mean Health care utilization. Causal links are not articulated or supported.

          This "best of all possible worlds" argument is fit for those who can afford to consume the luxuries they desire, but what is the collateral damage to health care for everyone else (and to public budgets)? #spendmoregetless @commonwealthfndhttp://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/fund-reports/2017/jul/mirror-mirror-international-comparisons-2017 …

          I.e., it's not so much that we are bad healthcare consumers; it's more that we're bad consumers generally.https://tincture.io/patients-are-not-consumers-but-who-is-9245be69b8c8 …
