Perhaps, but it may not actually work and there are trade-offs. For example if the treatment were $1T we obviously would not do it.

How do we allocate resources? Who gets to decide? These questions don't disappear when you change policies, it's just the answers that change

Why would a treatment ever cost that much? It shouldn't even cost what is does, it's not justifiable.
