Tainted Beef in Ohio and Michigan Causes Illness

Deregulation and lax regulation has lead to another exciting benefit of free market economics. A big boost in health care costs.

Take the example in Ohio and Michigan this week. Beef tainted with e-coli has popped up. 19 cases of illness atributed to the contaminated beef have been identified in Ohio and Michigan.

According to Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Robert Boggs, "the department is working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to perform a trace back investigation to find the source of this ground beef." Funny how it's always tracing backwards and not preventing in advance?
