Health Care vs. Technology

Something which isn't commonly mentioned in regard to our ridiculously illogical health care situation, is technology. I suggest we limit technology. My suggestion is taboo in our culture.

The high cost of new procedures, machines, and medications affects the price of health care. The development and use of these new technologies are very high priced. And so they do affect the price of our insurance and taxes and Social Security payments.

As is is many people are dying from high prices. Either they have no insurance because they can't afford it, and also can't afford the doctor; or they have insurance but it won't cover their hospitalization, etc.; or the insurance company won't accept them because they're sick. Meanwhile NIH receives extensive funding for the development of new technologies.

We could start by saving all monies spent in universities or the NIH for the development of new scientific "advancement;" and use this money for the cost of curing people who are dying right now due to lack of health care.

We could limit our technology to what has already been developed. In this way we could start to develop health care instead of wealth care.
