>That's mostly a policy problem, not a technology problem. Yep. You're not going to fix a problem caused by privatization with more privatization. Also, a lot of this prevention can be tied back to diets, not a lack of sensors.

>What would be the solution? Collusion between states to keep tax rates the same? Yes. If the result of states competing in this area is harming citizens, then it should not be practiced. It's also not fair to competing businesses.
