Sounds great. Only one problem: money is an illusion. The issue isn't money, it is supply of medical care as measured in units of doctor-hours That is wrong.

Sounds great. Only one problem: money is an illusion. The issue isn't money, it is supply of medical care as measured in units of doctor-hours That is wrong. What you are saying is that a doctors hours in 1940 are translatable to a doctors hours in 2008. This is obviously false; the limiting reagent is not the number of hours but the increase in effectiveness of those hours due to the 68 intervening years of medical research. A single doctor with today's knowledge and technology could have prevented the 1918 influenza epidemic, polio, the Black Plague, etc. So medical research completely matters.
