Wishful thinking that something like this would work. As long as someone else is footing the bill, many won’t care about the macro-effects of their medical decisions:
Proscriptions (sic) could be aided by legislation demanding Doctors inform Patients in percentage terms the likely benefit of such Drug use; most truly sick Patients can understand a Doctor who says this Drug will make you feel 10% better at $12/day. They could also understand a Doctor who states this Testing procedure at $800/per Test will give the Doctor a 7% greater surety of what is actually bothering the Patient. Other Patients might achieve greater comprehension hearing a Doctor state: Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments at $40,000 per year might keep you alive the two Years which I think you will live, but you will feel worse than you ever have before in your life; this combined with a 90% chance you will die in two years, and a 40% chance you will not last out the year anyway.
