Health Care

Studies show arthroscopic knee surgery no better than sham surgery.
"Arthroscopic surgery on the meniscus is the most common orthopedic procedure in the US, and according to this study, is performed about 700,000 times a year to the tune of $4 billion. Any surgeon who tells you this is the best or only option for your osteoarthritic knee pain will not have a leg to stand on when you show him or her all of the evidence to the contrary."
$4 billion. Wow.

Big Pharma pushes for bans on competing drugs from India. That's why government exists.
