Not the parent, but it's half joke half truth. Anyone who's done a lot of "first principles" work falls into this trap a bit, it's an issue across stem fields. Most grow out of it, or at least learn to qualify their statements for the audience.

As a tech manager with twenty years experience, I can assure you, in fact, engineers are people. And they interact with those MBAs, project managers, etc. The really good product/project people understand this as well, and make a point of doing their very best to be effective when interacting with the engineering team. They know how expensive we are, and try to bring our our best.

To the point of this article, the best product people were in fact respected by the tech team, and it made all the difference.

I had a zip disk for all my work in college. It's completely impractical for anything these days, but it was so much fun. Having 100mb in your bag in the era of floppies made you feel like a king.

Not quite. It's simply an argument that the money will end up back in healthcare, just maybe further down the line, and maybe that's okay. Just remember that as everything else gets cheaper, the percentage that is spent on healthcare must increase.

Would it, or would it simply delay the bill? Every one of us must pay the final price at some point.
