The medical industry has done a superb job of convincing everyone that “patients are their number one priority” when in reality they have all worked to have their own little monopolies. From physicians to pharma companies, everyone is focused on leverage and ensuring they control the supply in their vertical. Everyone pretends like the next round of drugs will make us so much healthier/live longer/etc. But we could have 0 innovation in medical/pharma technology in the next 20 years and if we instead focused on innovating in efficiency, expanding supply of docs and healthcare workers, and building a sustainable system, we would all be better off for it. The next new procedure or pharmaceutical can’t do jack shit when most people that need them can’t get them in a timely and affordable manner. Raise the bars for what you contribute to, folks!
