Interesting. It feels more every day like we're nearing a "tipping point" for technology solutions for a number of health issues - and that's a good thing. Unfortunately, that technology may often have such a lofty price tag that it's unlikely to be available "for the masses" for some time. Sure, it will become cheaper as new technology replaces current technology, but wouldn't it be nice if new technology were available for the masses sooner, rather than later. Likely, with all the rhetoric already going around about Obamacare, seeking some way to fund cutting edge healthcare technology solutions for most of the US population is unlikely to be well received on a number of fronts.
