But the healthcare is not like this, and neither is housing: going to a better doctor is a very weak status signal, and while some people do spend a lot of money on housing to signal their status, for average person the function of their house or apartment is to provide roof over their head.
- SilasX 10y agoFair enough, but these don't all have to have the same cause (except maybe in a very abstract sense).
- abakker 10y agoDon't you look for the best doctor when choosing healthcare? Often, the best doctors cost more money since they have limited time. Spending more on housing is difficult because the location component of a house usually effects the price as much or more as the quality/size of the house itself.
