I prefer Western medicine. If I'm really sick, I would prefer a doctor who thinks that if they could just make me well they could then take that ski trip their family wants.

Trade severity of condition for amount of insurance and you'll get largely the same story here. Doctors are highly encouraged to "over-treat" those with good plans to pay for the few uninsured they can take in off-book. Some will make more money doing so. Fun, huh.
Generally why I don't think medicine is a good industry to run for-profit, unlike most every other.

That map thing made my head spin. I've always disliked the Mercator Projection but was really thrown off by the whole thing.
Never knew that about Japan addresses despite living there for a few weeks. ?_?
