Leave aside also that the definition of ?needed? health care is highly elastic. Focus instead on the core of the ideal: complete clinical autonomy for physicians and their patients to throw whatever resources they wish at given medical conditions usually at someone else?s expense with little or no accountability for their preferred treatments’ quality or success.
