    The leafy and historic neighborhoods just north of downtown Los Angeles feature bungalows perched on steep hillsides, businesses huddled on commercial streets and an iconic baseball stadium.

  9. Healthcare reform and the incentive to keep spending

    Reforming the healthcare system is largely about fixing the incentives it provides for doctors, hospitals and patients to overspend.

That's a model that profits from sickness, not health.
