Health Care Is the Largest Industry in the US by Total Spending and Employment
Story at-a-glance America spent $5.3 trillion on health care in 2024.1 That’s not a typo, and it’s not someone else’s problem — it directly affects what you pay, what care you receive, and how the system around you operates. Health care now consumes roughly $18 out of every $100 spent in […]

Don’t Use Antidepressants During Pregnancy or for Children
As a young doctor, I joked about a general warning that can still be seen in Danish package inserts for drugs: “Caution is advised during pregnancy.” What does that mean? If you take a pill, it is too late to be cautious, and if you don’t take it, you don’t need to […]
