Don't hate the player, hate the game.

More and more as our capabilities increase we have more options than ever before in deciding what to do and how to do it. In the past, any treatment for any prevalent condition was a no-brainer benefit to society.

Now we're heading into territory where our government+economics+capitalism is a solution to an X-Y problem. There will come a tipping point where capitalism is less efficient than alternatives. Healthcare is perhaps the largest, most visible, and pressing one of these. Once we recognize the pattern, more will become apparent.
