    The chip has the number in it. Linked to the user and their computer.
    Just like filling in a CC number online. But with a chip vs the numbers on a transitional physical CC in the hand of the user.
    Same systems globally in place, just marketing in what the "card" physically looks like to the user.

  9. Re "If it is a truly rare condition that is only treated in the US, they send people to the US."
    Most nations will not have their gov pay that for every condition.
    Re "expensive way to do an old thing"
    Nations will not import and approve the needed advanced US products.
    People are left with no treatment. Recovery would need the new medical care.
    Old products approved decades ago don't always work with every condition.
    Thats the limitation of holding back new services and not allowing new services to be approved.
    Finally approving and paying for a product that works well many years and decades later.

  20. Re:Why is the EFF tied to fiber? on The US Desperately Needs a 'Fiber For All' Plan (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    The idea of "most economically-efficient way" has allowed parts of the USA to stay with paper insulated wireline for too long.
    Wireless works with a engineering approach that has set number of ISP accounts and good math to ensure each ISP account connects with that "antenna".
    Get that advanced math wrong and the long distant network design totally fails.
    The granted local monopolies are just not keeping up with advancements in how to do new networks.
    Time to bring in new local ISP who can provide 1000/1000 services as the exisiting "local monopolies" are no longer keeping up with the tech.
    Cant/wont keep up with tech? Thats a loss of that protected local status as the only ISP.
    Community broadband can build a network. Invite ISP from all over the USA in to see what they can do.
    Many of them might just be better than the existing local monopoly ISP.

    Fiber gives 1000/1000 services now. Then more than 1000/1000 services later.
    No new antenna math with each new demand for more networking.

  21. Re covers *all* drugs.
    Thats all approved medical care in that nation. Its more of a price protection. The poor to get approved care in that nation.
    Not a way of getting low cost access to new advances in medical care.
    Got a few decades of medicine delivered in bulk on an approved list? Thats easy to cover as a list of *all* approved drugs in that nation AC.

  22. Re 'Canadian government plans what they need and buy it in bulk. "
    That has to fall within a budget every year.
    Thats not for all the new advances in medical care.
    Only what the budget will cover that year. For all the existing products needed that year and a few new treatments approved for use.
    Thats how "buy it in bulk" works. A limited list of products. A few new products.
    Got a condition that needs a new treatment? Try existing services.
    Got a rare condition that needs treatment? Back to a list of existing products.
    The "need and buy it in bulk" is a rationing system to give most people access to a list of approved products at a set price.

    AC when a big gov steps in to alter a product its not a level playing field.
    Let people all over the EU enjoy their US brand computer OS and browser without a government adding layers of extra complexity.
