Health checks provide both a clear indication of current
market condition and provide enforcement an ability to pragmatically
mitigate risk of manipulation/ discover & address current bad
actors. Absent transparency, there can be no guarantee of current
health and risk can be obfuscated by difficult to track financial
instruments. Today an untrustworthy market exists and the tools that
are necessary to demonstrate health and gain trust cannot possibly
exist without an accurate assessment of condition. 
If the SEC does nothing to improve transparency, health and trust
cannot possibly follow and bad actors will remain in charge.
