Uh, QALY is definitely used by governments to decide on health and economic policy, but not in the absurd utilitarian way you're imagining.
For example, it's used to prioritize people in transplant queues. The more "use" you can get out of a new organ, the more you'll be prioritized, but it's not the only decider.
