Indeed.  I fear that as the cost of all available health care explodes, and
billionaires start getting obviously younger—the only ones able to afford
it at first—the people at the bottom will be rebelling, far more than just
assassinating the CEOs of health care companies.

We need leaders and politicians to address this head-on, or else.  I don't
fear AI, but I do fear things like this.
