Correcting disability

How come we have so much technology but we cannot produce shoes that avoid blisters? Dr. Jonathan Kerr argues there are very large possibilities to adopt technologies that diminish the pain and cost of disability. "In every other sector of the economy, technology makes life cheaper, easier and better...but the typical response of insurers and government is to do everything possible not to pay for" correcting disability through the use of technology. This is a proposition that should attract the attention of social security agencies in any country.
