The Best of GoozNews in 2023

As chosen by you, here are the top ten articles from the past year. I also have one ask from my readers.

To brighten up this darkest day of the year, I’ve compiled a list of the ten most-read stories that appeared on GoozNews in 2023. I’m taking a two week break for the holidays, returning after New Year’s.

Here’s the ask: If you appreciate receiving GoozNews emails each week, do you know someone who might also benefit from reading GoozNews? Do you know five people? Take a moment to forward this email to them. If they, like you, find my writing about health and health care (and the occasional other topic) of value, they can click below to subscribe. They (and you, if you’re a relatively recent subscriber) can learn more about me here.

May the world find peace with more democracy and better health in 2024. Happy holidays.
