> Some European countries has very good regulations about supporting disabled children thus equipment is very expensive. Regulations, at least the well intentioned ones, try to avoid accidents from ill-designed products. The downside is expensive or never made technology needed by a small number of patients. After all, dead or injured children due to faulty machinery are very noticeable, whereas unassisted ones (because the technology doesn't exist) is just "a fact of life", and invisible to most (except their parents). "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen", again. Same with medicines. We need a two-tier system: 1) certified and expensive, and 2) best-effort and on your own, but cheap. (And don't let me get started on patents)
