    All the advancements will still most likely help others down the line.

    The tech exists now and that’s still a big leap forward even if that particular company fucked people.

        Yeah pretty much every country except America runs their healthcare that way.

        A big advantage of socialised medicine is the system has huge buying power and can enforce things like this when making contracts.

      The fucking-people-over part is NOT a necessary part of the tech! You can have tech that gets stably supported with adequate safeguards in place to make sure patients get everything they need to keep them safe and working for the rest of their life–safeguards enforced by government mandates. Those are policy issues that we already know how to solve, we just don’t, because we let tech companies do whatever the hell they want.

        Yeah most places except America this is what would happen. It’s a big advantage of nationalised medicine.
