Of course your proposal is not free, it would greatly increase the cost of these devices…

The basic promise of the proposal seems to be that the technology is more of a convenience than a basic need, and/or people who really need it will have the cost dealt with by another entity.

This seems reasonable to me, and can be revised once we have a very good grasp of what actually happens with the technology after a few decades at least.

Sure the price will go up a little, but nowhere near the raw economic damage society at large will pay for people needing to get things like overheating implants removed.

This is not at all clear.
