We talk a lot about disrupting businesses here; there's a reasonable number of folks in the audience who want to do this to health care. Likely no deeper than that, but understanding the entrenched solutions in a market can be valuable if that's your plan.

Much of the discussion on HN is about startups. Health care costs are a major issue for nearly anyone starting a startup in the US and for most people considering working for a US startup.

I see your point, but I see a lot of non-tech news here. And this opens our eyes to an industry that might need changing (sort of like when pg mentioned that Hollywood is in need for disruption one year ago)

You have some big companies like General Electric trying to do things like improving hospital visits (http://www.gequest.com/c/hospital)..and a lot of people making fitness apps. But not much else then what from what I can see....

That's an interesting matter and people comment on it. Related enough to HN for me.
