1) If you take the ratio of specialist pay to national per capita GDP in the USA and elsewhere, our health care providers (doctors, nurses, techs) make much more than other OECD nations. Why?

2) What should the medicare supported number of residents per year be? What should the immigration testing requirements be for doctors that enter the USA from a different natinonal (non-Canadian) health care system?

3) Cerner and Epic are colossally inefficient uses of doctor time. We routinely estimate 30-40% of our doctor's working time is spent wrestling with one of these. Why?

4) What fraction of total health care costs are administrative, and how does this compare to other OECD nations?

I can record a TV show and play it back in my house whenever I like, and this is absolutely legal. Why cannot I record a youtube song and play it back in my house whenever I like?

I rip music from youtube all the time using online websites that cut-and-paste the URL, and save the audio as an mp3. If I only use the artist-uploaded content, is this time-shifting? In other words, as I am downloading something the artist provides, that I can play for free, can I download it to play later, also for free. Personal use only, of course.

The artists, of course, claim such downloading is illegal. Youtube claims that their API is copyrighted, and the downloading websites violate THEIR API (they make no claim about the artists). What are the legal issues, here?
