2. There is no Moore's Law in sick care
3. You can't cut your way to growth
4. The impact of changing business models and technology on productivity
5. Sick tech side gig microeconomics
6. Demographics
7. Where do our tax dollars go?
8. The rise and fall of great nations
9. Unfinished Journey — A Century of Health Care Reform in the United States | New England Journal of Medicine
10. How strategists learn: strategic thinking v strategic planning | LinkedIn
11. Inflation expectations rise sharply | LinkedIn
12. Let's create a patient shortage instead of a clinician shortage | LinkedIn
13. How money is a major barrier to physician entrepreneurship | LinkedIn

Every decision is a bet.

Good luck.
