That's fair, except that sometimes there aren't enough resources (qualified surgeons, facilities, etc) for everyone to get that kind of care. I'd rather cheap care that is 95% good enough than none at all. (For things I really need - I think a majority of what the healthcare industry does is counterproductive but there is also plenty of stuff that's good like cataract surgery for example.)
