I mean there appears to be *no* cost/benefit analysis. So we have *very* expensive procedures being done that have mixed benefit but which raise all prices for the rest of us. No one wants to play "lifeboat" and say that it's not worth doing such-and-so for a person with only a couple months to live, but we make value judgments by default when doing everything for everyone raises prices and makes stuff like neonatal care too expensive for some families. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
