Since this deals with personal decisions and not decisions made by
(largely faceless) others, I am not sure how it fits.
Another interesting article popped awhile ago. It shows that
recessions lower health care usage at the same time they show IMPROVED
health care stats. One theory is that a decline in health care use means
a decline in unnecessary care, too, so there are fewer tests that lead
to follow up tests and procedures in people who donšt actually have a
serious health problemŠ and fewer cases of medical harm.
