You missed my point, which was that factors that influence productivity are more fundamental than those that influence consumption. Nobody (sane) enjoys going

  No one missed your point. Your point is obvious and terrible. You want the demand side of the equation ignored. Your world view requires that demands for health care be unrestrained and unquestioned and you perform whatever mental contortions you must to allow that view to remain plausible inside your head. You're mentality is common and identified in the story here: "many academics and health care leaders found the idea of health insurance so appealing as to have a bias blinding them to the negative impact of moral hazard" Your point has not been missed. It's just wrong. But don't worry; you have lots of company and you won't be left wanting for support from lots of other wrong people.

    Yes, you missed my point, because no, I don't want the demand side of the equation ignored.
