If there is one thing I've learned from Stefan, it's how to better handle defeat. Vids like this a testament to why this man is brilliant. He can accept that he's wrong, corrects it, absorbs the knowledge and becomes better for it; and for those of us who watch his videos, we benefit from this as well.

@KodoTheShoe it's never defeat if I learn something better :)

I would say that private interest have lobbied for goverment regulation,to shut down they're competition!

Take a look at the medical care the American Indian receives to get a first hand look at what government health care will get you.

Growing up in the Soviet Union, I had a misfortune of getting hospitalized for a month, and had a couple of surgeries. I assert that I have seen hell on earth: cold-hearted doctors who treated people as if they were a peace of meat and laughed at their pain, nonchalant nurses that gathered at work just to chat, anesthesiologists who reportedly stole meds so they could have some extra income...they were a product of their society, state-sponsored, underpaid and corrupt. And here we go again : \

I have to commend you for the way you reacted to this letter. I have been trying to wake people up to the way the government has leveraged Medicare/Medicaid to create the health care cost crises for decades. You are the FIRST I have come across to say, "Well, shit. Thanks for the wake up."

I don't have tell you how most react, you are the target yourself.

I do have one criticism of the letter; color TVs and pretty wallpaper are cheap. Motel 6 provides them at low cost despite taxation.

Cash payment? Haha!

Gov. trying to erase cash, all money circulation in electronic form, so they cam monitor it.

Drug dealers use cash!!!!!

There are few words in the English language that I hate worse than 'compliance'.

Enlightening. Saddening. No surprise... Like having my maglignant tumor described to me in detail.

And then there are all the states that did not permit midwifery, or vastly restrict it...can't do stillbirths, or this or that. Truly obnoxious. If the government doesn't belong in our bedrooms, how do they belong in the role of telling us who we can or cannot have assisting at our births?
