Who do you think that the owners of said machines are?
More and more you will be owned by the rich, so prepare for living in a total dictatorship within your lifespan.
- maaku 13y agoI think you misunderstand my point. Health care is an economic rent - a forced payment into a system that does nothing to advance society. It's like a thug who has seized the water supply and is demanding ever higher prices. What are you going to do? Not pay and die? The double-digit percentage of my salary that spend on fixing and maintaining the frail, degenerating body that evolution handed me I would rather spend on something else, if I could. I would rather stay perfectly healthy, young forever, and not pay a cent. Wouldn't you? If moving towards that goal puts some doctors out of a job, well so be it. The end goal doesn't include their job anyway. Maybe they can go become engineers and create value, or go make better medical machines.
- Yaa101 13y agoI do understand your point, but the prices will go up either way because the machines are owned by the ones that I was talking about. My problem with machines is that sooner or later people cause changes while machines imprint status quo.
