Discussions on equity in health care resource allocation
rarely, if ever, address the underlying presumption of a
direct relationship between cash inputs and health care
outputs / health outcomes. Are there any studies which
directly address this relationship? I'm not, of course,
referring to crude correlations between healthcare
expenditure and area morbidity/mortality.
