"Medicine could, and should, be a lot like going to the vet."
Yeah, and patients whose cures are more expensive than they can afford should be put down painlessly, eh?
There are some aspects of health care where free market mechanisms can improve efficiency, but efficiency is not by itself the ultimate goal a health care system should have.
- javert 14y agoHow much does it cost to treat a dog for the most serious medical problems, like cancer? I bet it's trivial compared to the cost of a human. I bet it's so little, that we could actually think about treating everyone for everything, if we could get human treatment to that level of efficiency. Seriously, it's the most humane way to go. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about going to India if I or loved ones need serious medical care.
