We don’t have to go back very far to see the classic boom, bubble, and bust play out. In just the last 15 years, we’ve been fortunate enough to watch over-zealous traders lose their heads again and again. First, they bought tech companies for 80 times their earnings in the late ’90s and then happily purchased banks and insurance companies that were leveraged at 35 times their equity. This time, however, we don’t even need the boom or the bubble to see a bust.

It’s no secret America’s health care system has problems. As I wrote last week, tens of thousands of people die unnecessarily every year due to medical errors… many of which could be prevented if hospitals and doctors adopted technology to track prescriptions and handle health care records.
