You may be right about medical innovation being partly driven by the profit and cost-heavy US healthcare system. We need to get comfortable with the idea that economic, profit-driven interest is less important than using our considerable resources to rebalance the care for everyone in a more equitable process. I am willing to slow down the pace of innovation for this goal, and I hope others are, too. This directly parallels environmental concerns, where we as a species are destroying habitat, driving species extinct, and negatively impacting the climate, so we can enjoy many unnatural conveniences. We have to take a step back and realize that fixing these fundamental issues is more important than innovation and technological progress.
