Most of the latter agree that business must be forced to offer medical benefits to their employees, and that society at large must support the rest. I cannot imagine that either of those approaches will succeed. There are two insurmountable problems. First, the consumer of personal medical services, the patient, is insulated from the costs of those services. As long as that is the case, the value of those services will never be determined, and where the value is not known, no rational decision can be made by the patient, whether to use the services.
Value is a highly personal opinion.
It contains many variables, such as personal life circumstances, costs, and the expected benefits. Because my life differs from yours, I will place more or less value on a given treatment than you will. In money, time and energy. The second insurmountable problem is determining the benefit that can be expected from the treatment. This problem has two parts.
