You put the word disproving in quotes, but the parent post did not use that word or claim to be disproving the entire discipline of economics. Your knee-jerk reaction here typifies why so many avoid studying the subject at all.
Also, that "psuedo-intellectual observation" won Herbert Simon a Nobel Prize (in Economics) in 1978. I don't see how it's far-fetched or "ignorant" to suggest that healthcare decisions are made by boundedly rational satisficers rather than perfectly rational optimizers.
