Do we expect that our medical professionals and facilities have the capability of providing the best treatment to everyone all the time? If they do not, how should we decide how to allocate the medical care?
- _delirium 14y agoI agree, that's exactly the question. Well, unless we get to a situation where literally every person can receive the best treatment for every ailment, at high-quality facilities with no waiting. If we're not in that situation, then some people can't receive the best treatment for their condition, and the question is who and when.
- danielweber 14y agohow should we decide how to allocate the medical care? Our current method of deciding is to stick our fingers in our ears and pretend it doesn't matter. Anything has to be better than this.
- anonymoushn 14y agoActually, we are using money to allocate it, which seems pretty reasonable. This will be an even better idea if we can bring costs down substantially.
