This is genius (sort-of). It solves a specific and practical need without being too grandiose. In the long term, an independent, non-profit, social enterprise, government-sponsored entity would be a better vehicle for this because whichever states, federal (Medicare, Medicaid, VA), pension funds, AARP, and/or insurance companies could back it in order to reduce their costs. It's far better to pool the risks, minimize duplicated effort, and reap the rewards using scale. This is how pharmaceuticals and healthcare should be delivered for nonelective care. The leading US industry lobby, PhRMA, will do everything in its power to kill it in some manner whether through the legal system, traditional advertising, and/or social media. https://truthout.org/articles/pharma-breaks-lobbying-record-... |
