For everyone like your nephew's kid, there are 10 more kids who don't get
any medical attention, or the wrong sort of medical attention or the
cheapest of "patches" medical attention, or medical attention long after
whatever problem there is has escalated into something a lot more
serious.


That's because health care and insurance has become unaffordable for many.
Make it more affordable for those that can work.

How?

By relieving those who pay for health insurance the costs of development
of new equipment, procedures and drugs. *That* should be the role of
the government. If we can bail out wall street corporations, we can
subsidize some of the medical industry.

Users of the health care system should pay for services rendered and not
the development costs of those systems. Make the use cost affordable, not
free. Of course those who cannot work to pay for their medical service
needs should be cared for by us, but not those who can pay, but don't or
won't.

You calculated in your machine costs and development costs to your product.
Why should the government pay for just one segment? If the government was
paying for development, very few drugs and devices would make it to market.
Greed may be a driving factor. Last company I worked for was a Biomed
company. The venture capitalists dumped $35 million in to the company with
hope for a large return. Unfortunately, they picked some bad management. I
doubt if a stage 1 Urinary Incontanance would be high up the list of
government programs. Does cost the people suffering about $700 million a
year in supplies.
