It'd be a shame to suppress or resent improved productivity from automation because the local social policy was messed up. A nation made wealthy from technology could choose to organize its healthcare differently.
- ThomPete 10y agoYes but that doesen't solve the problem. For single payer healthcare to work people will need to make more money. The more money they make on mundane things the more likely they are to be replaced by automation. It's a vicious cycle.
- robotresearcher 10y agoPeople make less money in Canada, the UK, Netherlands, etc. which all have single payer. It's cheaper. I'm not saying it's easy to get there. But it can be done by popular will.
- ThomPete 10y agoThe bottom i.e. the majority of workers makes way way less money than in the UK, Canada etc.
