An example of the cost of medical treatment going down
This is but one example. Oddly enough, every example I can find, all have one thing in common, they’re not covered by health insurance.
A tattoo removal story by Rob over at Cockeyed. Rob presents a story in a sometimes humorous, yet informative matter. If you want to cheat, you could jump to page 5, where the money quote is [1], but I’d recommend reading the whole series (a quick read) to get the feel for how the solely market-driven, profit-motivated endeavor manages to improve the technology while steadfastly decreasing in price.
This story is refreshing because after years of reading Cockeyed.com, I’ve gotten the impression that Rob would probably place himself left-of-center. He’s certainly not a GOP poster boy. Nor is he a Obama delegate who is not a doctor but plays one at town hall meetings.
[1] …And by “money quote”, I mean the price quote. A laser tattoo removal session drops from $150 to $125 to $100 during the series.
