Poverty is a movable typeset - a relative designation.
It would be nice to edit out that vector for impoverishment..but that would, for a few generations, be mainly helpful in reducing the medical expenses of the rich, making them richer...and dragging up the level under which one would be considered impoverished by default. Even factoring in our vanishing uppermiddle class (the first "non-rich" set that would gain access)....reduced illness would increase earnings, thus decreasing the value of any given dollar (and so any given labor hour) in the marketplace.
The upside is still there, ofc, no disagreement from me on that count. Poor and/or poorer people will be less sick, someday.
