Of course there are diminishing returns, the world famous brain surgeon billing at $10k per operating room hour isn't going to deliver a 20x better outcome then the average brain surgeon billing at $500, or however much the ratio is.
Yet some folks still choose to seek out the world famous brain surgeon when they desire that extra quantum of assurance and if they can afford it.
- the_gipsy 3y agoThere are still expensive private clinics in all countries with public healthcare.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoDid you intend to reply to a different comment? What does the mere existence of 'expensive private clinics' in X countries have to do with the diminishing return on higher priced brain surgeons?
- the_gipsy 3y agoNo. I am pointing out that rich people still can and do spend all their money on private healthcare for some tiny increase in countries with public healthcare.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoHow does that relate to my comment? It's possible for at least 1 person in any given country to hop on a plane or recruit world experts to come, with enough money, even in Somalia or Afghanistan, which don't have functioning systems of any kind. I wasn't making any claims to the contrary, if you misread.
