If this is such a revolutionary technology and it is cheap to mass produce, it should be like water fluoridation and similar state funded measures that increase overall population health. I am not arguing that $20k is more than regular dental work's cost over a lifetime, in the US at least, but that it's because dental work is so expensive is why oral health is so bad worldwide,Lifestyle, sugar consumtion and the like notwithstanding.
Maybe it ought to be that way. But we believe in property rights and government confiscation of property isn’t something I support.
Might be the pols manage to find a way to buy the tech to give away freely to the people. Until then it’s theirs to distribute as they please until their exclusive rights expire.
I wasn't talking about confiscation, although expropriation and similar measure are common when done for a public good. Anyway in this case I think the whole product is bogus and it's mostly VC bait.
