What's your definition of a "market slump" and/or an "economic crisis"?
Let's say for simplicity a nationally recognized economic downturn amounting to at least a recession.
Also, what's Health Index and what is the US National Health Database?
I guess an unofficial name for WHO's ranking system for national healthcare systems, last performed in 2000. http://www.who.int/whr/2000/media_centre/press_release/en/
The US National Health Database is a theoretical thing that is in the works to provide patient information nationally to any hospital or medical provider which requires it, and funding was set aside in the PPACA (Obamacare); it's being implemented at a state level by federal grant, and I believe is intended to eventually operate as a set of interacting state databases rather than a single database stored somewhere.

You have a 90% probability that this "downturn" will lead to the US stock market losing two thirds of its value which is worse than 2008. That implies a bit more, um, severe event.

Ah, I know an expression that fits the situation well...
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
