		<title>Antwort an Christoph Rossmy und Thorsten Fischer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ich hatte versucht Christoph und die EFDMA zu ignorieren und mich auf meine eigenen Pläne zu konzentrieren, um Fortschritte mit dem FDM zu machen. Christoph postete aber auf seiner Website eine herbe Kritik über mich und meinen neuen Partner, Frank Römer und so sehe ich mich jetzt gezwungen, darauf zu antworten. Im Januar diesen Jahres [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last spring, Democrats won a long, politically damaging fight with Republicans to enact a national healthcare reform bill. It is known by many as Obamacare, after the name of our president who pushed so hard to get it passed in the House and Senate. Although his party controlled strong majorities in both chambers, there were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why the National Debt is Growing so Fast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you understand how the financial system works – and it doesn&#8217;t work very well – you will see that our government ran up the debt on purpose and actually has a good reason for it. The mortgage loan crisis and the recession that followed caused banks to stop lending. I&#8217;m going to breeze over [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Perspective: Physicians, Reality, and Medical Models (excerpt)</title>

		<title>Letter to Congress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I urge all of you who support healthcare reform to write your U.S. representative and senators. You should write even if you do not support reform, because that is how the system works. Of course, political forces can do only so much to reform healthcare, but it is a good start. Our representatives are facing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Millennium Bridge Syndrome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Millennium Bridge of London was completed in 2000, hence its name. However, the bridge is better known for a lesson it provided in synchronization. Opening day for the pedestrian-only suspension bridge saw thousands of visitors crossing at once. Unexpectedly, the bridge began to sway back and forth, or oscillate sideways. Videos of the event [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evil of Self-perpetuity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If all take, no one will have anything of value. If all give, everyone will have everything. Things of value are not primarily material. They are the kindness we show to one another; the services we offer, with or without recompense. Some Americans on the conservative end of the political spectrum think that anyone who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Powertrain Healthcare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is easy to point out what is wrong with healthcare. It takes somewhat more thought to discover why those problems exist, and still more thought to make policy recommendations about how to solve the problems. Here is such a recommendation, one that will improve healthcare financing. If your agenda is to shrink government, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Politics of Taxation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the federal government spends money, politicians like to say its outlays are financed by taxpayer money. In actuality, taxation is only one way the federal government can raise cash. Another way is to issue Treasury notes – that is, debt – to Americans and foreigners alike. But this is still arguably using taxpayer dollars [...]]]></description>

		<title>War on Cancer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Send in the soldiers (chemotherapy), fly the bombers overhead (radiation therapy), and roll the tanks over the enemy (surgery). Maybe with superior firepower, we can win the war on cancer. If drugs, radiation, and surgery are the weapons, cancer is the enemy, and physicians are the generals, then what is the patient in this war? [...]]]></description>
