>>Billions of dollars spent worldwide on health-care planning, and it's "through a glass darkly"? Seriously?
Absolutely. Example: what does it cost to treat cancer. Bearing in mind that you *want* new treatments to appear that knock your planning back to square 1.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
