‘Rationing’ is often a good thing. Wasteful tests cost the patient time and, in some cases, are harmful or risky. Treatments that don’t work can have dangerous side effects and delay the use of treatments that are actually effective.

It also creates a strong incentive for preventive medicine, instead of our current system, which incentivizes mostly the repair work.
