There are three choices for allocation healthcare resources.
Ration by price.
Ration by access.
Attempt to stretch access by underpaying providers.
Results of each.
Ration by price. Poor people dies from lack of access. System still provides incentives (greed) to cause people to become providers...
Ration by access. People lower in the pecking order die from lack of timely access. System may or may not provide incentives for people to become providers....
Attempt to stretch access by underpaying providers. Entire system collapses as providers respond to negative incentives by doing something else...
Pick....Door #1 , Door #2, or Door #3.
