Tim, you’re actually performing a vital public service here. By framing medical care in the context of a high-tech future, you’re exposing (intentionally or not) how truly absurd the U.S. privatized healthcare system is, with its plethora of individual payers, most of which exist for one reason alone: funneling cash into rich folk’s pockets, not healing people or keeping them well.
It boggles the mind why, in America, so many are dumb as dirt about this concept. They’ve bought in wholesale to the capitalist party line which claims — often contrary to the evidence — that private for-profit corporations provide superior goods and services than the public sector.
