The healthcare fraud cases emerging globally might just be the opening move for a major market shock in 2026. Think about it—healthcare spending represents roughly 20% of global GDP. When that massive sector gets hit by widespread fraud or trust collapse, it doesn't stay isolated. Suddenly you've got 20% of the world economy paralyzed by uncertainty and fear. That kind of systemic doubt? It bleeds into everything else. Markets hate not knowing what's real. When foundational institutions start looking shaky, capital gets spooked. It's not just a healthcare story anymore—it becomes a black swan waiting to happen. The contagion potential is enormous if confidence in these systems crumbles.

20% of GDP... If it really crashes, we're all doomed.

If 20% of the global GDP really collapses, on-chain data would be the most transparent choice. Medical fraud, at its core, is still a matter of information asymmetry. Bitcoin has long solved this problem.

ngl this hits different when u think about supply chain verification... like if 20% of the economy can't prove what's actually real, that's basically a failed merkle root situation waiting to blow up

Medical fraud is really a bit frightening. Healthcare accounts for one-fifth of the global GDP. If it collapses, the entire economy will shake along with it.
