New version of Toledo Talk

Healthcare is 3rd leading cause of death - A report from a couple of years ago ... "America's healthcare-system-induced deaths are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. According to several research studies in the last decade, a total of 225,000 Americans per year have died as a result of their medical treatments. 106,000 [of those] deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs. In the blind reliance on drugs, surgery, technology and medical establishments, the American medical system has inflicted more harm than good on the U.S. population." We need healthcare, but it's killing us. So should we ban that which we need? If this isn't a vicious infinite loop, then it's a serious logic flaw that will cause a messy symbolic stack dump.
