That'd be triage, and I don't think it's the insurers' business – or even the doctors', unless they're in a field hospital in a war zone.
The article argues that prices are too high, because of monopoly power. Get prices down and triage won't be necessary anymore.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoPrices dont go down by themselves. You need someone to select cheaper options and reject more expensive ones. If there is nobody to say no to $1 million dollar aspirin, that is how much you pay. Money is finite, so that means people dont get care. Care is always rationed.
