You can have gains in both today if certain issues are addressed. Innovation doesn't mean a lack of liability or responsibility for negligence. In the U.S. you already have relatively minimal rights in healthcare. Your stability and legal guarantees are already compromised compared to your worldly neighbors. I too distrust tech companies in healthcare due to their differing motivations and organizational cultures. I want the red tape to go away, but I also want strong regulations and safety nets to ensure the drugs and devices we are prescribing to people are effective and safe.

> I want the red tape to go away, but I also want strong regulations and safety nets I'm not certain those goals can be both met. You can have innovation, but some red tape is necessary. Of course you could get into arguing that "not all red tape is made equal", but deterring cheap "innovation" from a tech shop trying to make a quick buck is absolutely necessary and useful. The barriers exists for very good reasons, not only as you said they have a different motivation and organizational culture, but they have different qualifications.
