Hmm. Stupid people forget to take their meds, and cause the rest of us to spend money patching them up. Solution? Pay them to take care of themselves. It's cheaper than us paying to patch them up.<p>I propose a different plan. Rather than rewarding people for doing things they should be doing anyway, we punish them for not doing it. A computerized pillbox gives people $10 for each pill they take. Instead, why not charge them $300 for the pillbox (with 30 pills in it) and give them back $10 for each pill they take? It's cheaper for society, and it correctly internalizes the costs that these morons inflict on the rest of us.<p>(If they don't wish to do this, they are of course free to stop forcing the rest of us to pay for their medicine.)
