If I need x product/procedure/treatment to live, and otherwise I die, human psychology is wired to pay whatever price is asked.
With more "price" and outcome transparency we can get closer to elasticity though.
The last time I looked, the hospital with the best outcomes for a heart procedure I looked at was the 2nd lowest cost. The most expensive hospital (the brand name) was like 4th or 5th best in outcomes.
The public needs more data and be expected to take responsibility for themselves.
You still stand by that disease isn't about personal choice or did you walk that statement back yet?
