Because absolutely everyone can afford an Apple Watch to maintain your health status!

Let's take the people out of healthcare entirely! I'm sure we'll all be perfectly healthy and happy with a string of apps on our phones telling us that we're eating too many butterscotch sundaes. Except for those apps that have ads from Dairy Queen in them. And the apps that tell people they're smoking too much! Except for the ones with ads from Camel and Marlboro.

Nono, those money-driven corporations really -really- care about the wellbeing of people!

Welcome to the new narrative, everyone. Tone-deaf politicians who are so out of touch with their constituents that they figure an expensive gadget that hardly anyone can afford is better than a health care system.
