    Medicare

    flu vaccines

    neonatal incubators

    Explanation:

    Thomas Malthus was of the belief that there would be rapid growth of human population and this will be far more than food supply, thus humans will hope on disease, famine, or war to reduce the population. Malthus did not anticipate that in years to come, there would be vaccines that would eliminate the dangers of small pox, neither did he envisage the development of the health sector. In this light, Malthus would likely oppose Medicare because it will improve health conditions and thus lead to overpopulation as he wrongly thought. He would also disapprove of flu vaccines for same reason above. He would also oppose neonatal incubators because it supports population increase.
