The World is Changing: Again!

There was a book written in 1970 called "Future Shock". However, I think now future shock is about 100 or 1000 times worse than it was in 1970 when "Future Shock" was written.

Change is now too quick to even think about fathoming what it is doing to everyone on earth. So, the question becomes: "Who among us can survive this kind of change?"

And the answer becomes: "Only the rich and the very poor might survive this while the middle classes will be wiped out by the changes."

But, if you think about this carefully that will end all democracies and make all weak governments dysfunctional and end.

So, probably governments in general will have to become more responsive to these changes.

Just like with full medical care in countries you notice that the most efficient health care system so far is South Korea (as far as I presently can see). But, countries marginally successful with health care (the U.S. is a failure among these) you notice that those countries are usually under 80 million people.

There is something about that number (about twice the population of California) that is a limiting factor in how efficient health care can be. It makes me think that each U.S. State must enact its own health care legislation just like Massachusetts did years ago now under Romney which became the blueprint for Obamacare.

California has Medi-Cal but it has its drawbacks too. So, when you think of efficient medical care for the masses think about what S. Korea has done, Canada has done, England has done and other countries whose health care actually works for the masses.

Because our health care system right now only works for the very rich and for people on Medicare and thats about it.
