That's not clearly the case, at least for medicine: http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/07/meds-to-cut.html http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/07/meds-to-cut.html
- Retric 17y agoThat does not counter his argument. Demonstrating that highways are more expensive to build in some areas than others does not show that building highways is useless. Extreme Example: If the total cost of universal healthcare is less than the total benefit of universal vaccination then it can be a net gain even if every other dollar was wasted.
