So, technological innovation has nothing to do with healthcare, or the cost thereof?

Has the product development cycle stopped since Obamacare took effect?

It was vapid bullshit, designed to impress the uninformed. Admit it.

Does the state stifle innovation? I'm told it does but historically this isn't the case and often seems to be the exact opposite. To me, it feels like the state is actively working against me and in no way benefits me. It seems to directly undermine me at every turn. I'll take the S curve or whatever meme over this pan genderism shit the left pushes. Shame though...

Do government regulations affect businesses?

Do higher premiums affect the number of insured?

Does a smaller pool of consumers affect the behavior of businesses?

Do businesses restricted geographically, and with declining customers, make changes to their operation in reaction to those factors?
In Michigan, for example, state officials just approved price hikes of 16.7%, on average, for individuals purchasing health insurance in 2017 through the state's Affordable Care Act exchange. Individual buyers can expect average increases of 20% in Colorado, meanwhile, and price hikes of 19% to 43% in Iowa next year.
Such price increases are actually on the low side compared with states like Minnesota and Oklahoma, where individual plans will shoot up 50% or more on November 1, which is when signups for 2017 coverage on marketplaces are opened.
More know nothing analysis from grumps.

/bonghit dude, changes in the health insurance market have no effect on behaviors in the health technologies industry. like, man, they aren't even the same thing.

Yeah dude, keep riding that ship down.

Apparently, medical innovation has slowed because spokesguy said there aren't enough S-curves.

And since the end-user is paying more, and losing services, we obviously need S-curves to fix it. Nuke, meme that thing dude.
