With the Red Dragon's refusal to float another dime of American debt, the country teeters precariously at the rim of the fiscal equivalent of a black hole. The nation's single source for medical care, ARLNAT, struggles to confront its sacrosanct requirement: it must meet its mandated bottom line at all costs.
