Healthcare Triage News: Americans Spend a Lot on Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Back Pain

One of my fist big efforts on my blog was a ten point series on health care spending in the US. It also led to John doing this video – which is the fourth most popular vlogbrothers video EVER,  – which pretty much led to Healthcare Triage. It’s not surprising, therefore, that I have an ongoing interest in spending on health.

A recent publication in JAMA got into the weeds of where that money has gone. This is Healthcare Triage News.
