Hmmm. I would suggest that the alternative would be equally
questionable. Healthcare provision is an essentially 'bottomless
pit'. If, under 'normal' circumstances, one deliberately restricted
full use of available healthcare resources (presumably for financial
reasons), there would inevitably be some people who could have
received (or received more, or better) treatment if the full
available resources had been utilised - and, as I implied, I presume
that not everyone would be happy with the fact that they weren't receiving it.
Kind Regards,
John
