Dean Kamen on Health Care

Dean Kamen on health care:
The reason 100 years ago everyone could afford their healthcare is because healthcare was a doctor giving you some elixir and telling you you'll be fine.

Kamen has invented a lot of cool stuff, including many useful medical devices. The interview linked above is well worth reading.

I don't think there is nearly enough discussion on the potential danger of the health care reforms being talked about. The danger is the curbing of medical innovation. As I've said before, I'm afraid we are about to cook the hen that lays the golden eggs.
