The "future of medicine" commencement speech is dangerously misleading from a British viewpoint -- a lot of what he's describing are side-effects of the American system of commercial medicine. (That's not to say we don't have problems over here, but the ramping of costs is largely a side-effect of the way healthcare is delivered over there. Lots of spurious and very expensive diagnostic tests to pad the bills), a grotesque lack of attention to preventitive medicine, and devil take the [uninsured] hindmost.
