health care is a shambles now but it will improve by leaps and bounds. For one thing, we know what causes diabetes, and once the news reaches the doctors and nutritionists, that can be reversed. With that will come all sorts of reduction of medications, which do save lives, but at a huge financial and health cost. The whole realm of insulin resistance/diabetes is just starting to be understood, and is way underdiagnosed, but is related to a lot of the heart conditions people have. That will go away at some time. So we will pump the same amount of money into far fewer people with ailments. There will be much more preventive medicine. There is the internet, where we will share health knowledge. We have birth control, so we won't be overburdened with too many children as in the past, and will be able to provide more to those we have. We will have way more medical knowledge, or misinformation too, distributed way more frequently throughout the population. We will have better understanding of natural remedies and less skepticism. We will have safer transportation, so way fewer car accidents. Nutrition will be improved..probably we'll have ways to grow more at home with little kits...we'll pull out heads out of our asses about what children need for health...give them back their recesses, give them more play and more physical training. People will quit working so many hours...they will just demand more 6 and 5 and 4 hour jobs and get them...

At some point, we will realize that as poverty breeds violence, so does violence breed poverty, and we will insist on better social behavior...that alone will clear up more money for health care, bring more businesses into poorer neighborhoods, reduce the effects of stress among people having to live in violence and poverty....

We will get back to believing in sunshine, fresh air, sleep, ...all sorts of type B rather than A values....women will get off this treadmill that they put themselves on, and dragged other women on and work reasonable hours and have a more balanced life..if they want to be on the treadmill, fine with me..but I'm off it.

As other countries control their populations, there will be fewer disputes over water, the last danger. Fuel problems will resolve themselves very shortly. We won't be an oil-based economy long and don't have to be now for part of our economy, at least home heating etc. America will probably have kissed manufacturing goodbye perhaps for good, but we will return somewhat to our agricultural roots and produe better food, therefore healthier people.

And I'm a pessimist....
