I think there is much more expensive tech in medicine today. But in general I would be fine If I had affordable health care that’s maybe a few years behind the cutting edge. In most markets things get commoditized and cheaper but this doesn’t seem to happen in health care.


Perhaps a market analysis of medicine in the u.s. doesn't work because it isn't really a market, but more like a cartel. This also provides a good frame for understanding how it is that nothing improves: how do other cartels interact with governments?
