      If we bring down the prices of housing, healthcare, and education in the United States the majority of our financial ills go away. Everything else is getting so cheap.

      Healthcare is by far the hardest of those. It will be the thing that remains expensive when everything else gets cheap. In a "post-scarcity" society, health will be the one remaining scarce thing.

      Disagree strongly with this. Removing the artificial supply constraints on doctors imposed by medical school, allowing nurses to perform more procedures they are legally barred from doing, and increasing immigration to increase the supply will make healthcare way cheaper.

      For sure healthcare could be a lot cheaper. But the problem of giving people more healthy years as they get older is basically a black hole for resources.

          In a way that I think can be proportionate to better technology and expanded immigration, just like resources expand to meet most market demands.

          Japan has the solution. We can too.

          Your benchmark is too high. People die younger in the US than in Germany. The US healthcare system is significantly more expensive and at the same time way worse than ours in Germany. People die earlier in the US than any other developed country. https://www.crossfirekm.org/articles/health-and-wealth-part-ii-the-american-and-german-healthcare-systems-compared …pic.twitter.com/WJU2goMzJQ

          Does that mean fixing aging, even if partially, deserves much more resources?
