[quote=CA renter]The problem is that people cannot live without healthcare, and in a country where families have to pay $1,000++ per month for health insurance, there is no way they can strike out and take great entrepreneurial risks in cities like Detroit.[/quote]
I think this perception may change. People may wake up and realize that health insurance is a big scam. 75% of medical-expense related bankruptcies occur in households that have health insurance. Given that, why not just save your money and stop buying health insurance? If the worst happens you go bankrupt or die because you can’t afford a necessary procedure, but this happens to people with health insurance every day anyway! Medical tourism is also making complex procedures available to people for a fraction of the cost of those in the US.
Yeah the midwest is looking better all the time for investment. I think it will come back one day.
