Medicine is a pretty difficult art as is. I'm not entirely convinced that I want my MD to be price conscious over being outcome conscious. If it comes down to choosing one over the other, I'd rather my MD focus on their practice and not their billing.

I'd prefer not being destitute to many medical alternatives. Have you been homeless? It's actually really, really bad for your health.

I'd think being unhoused with a medical condition may be worse. Though in the suffer-olympics, no one wins.
