A novel idea to scale reimbursements based how much the patient would benefit from the treatment:
Instead, companies should tailor their plans so that people who can get the most benefit out of a particular drug or screening test will actually pay the least for it. By doing so, companies might not only get more for their money, they might even save money in the long run by helping their employees prevent expensive health crises.

Such a system would destroy Hospice and palliative care.
