Computer has Moore's law, but healthcare hasn't. What is worse, it's labor-intensive work so very difficult to optimize even compared to other industry. Possibly robots can replace human but I don't think it moving forward without public health insurance. (Gov has incentive to develop technology to reduce healthcare cost)

Healthcare relies on Moore’s law. You’re also going to receive, this year, a vaccine that will be among the fastest ever developed. The number of services and treatments that didn’t even exist 10 years ago is increasing year on year, and the efficiency of them increases too - and would increase faster and hence become cheaper if they were deregulated.

Yes partially for medicine/device development and something like new services but it's not enough to think same as computer.

Moore's law is about processors, not computing power nor the tech industry, I'm not the one making a category error.
