...charge, is $29 higher than my willingness to pay. As a result, the medical system is overused by people who fall into the price gap between their personal cost and society’s total cost.Furthermore, since in our current health insurance system, coverage is provided through employers, it cannot be moved as people change jobs.

As Weber mixes a brandy alexander - a smooth drink made of brandy, crème de cacao and cream topped off with freshly ground nutmeg - his colleague, Beate Hindermann, tells us why German brandy cannot be called cognac. "It was prohibited in the Treaty of Versailles," she says. "And so German brandy will forever remain what it is - French cognac's little brother."
