Yes. I think leave the decision of what treatment is required by the actual treating physician instead. However, regular oversight of the costs should be conducted by trained professionals if concerned about unnecessary expensive treatments being used or have a hospital protocol of when to use certain treatments. Most physicians tend to use cost/time/best treatment for patients to prevent re-hospitalization. No one wants a pt to keep coming back especially in teh public system.

This needs to be case by case. People that have lost their jobs due to an injury, chronic illness, born with a disability sometimes require expensive surgeries, procedures and medication. Yet they can't afford it. So we have no choice but to go public, and the waiting lists are horible and can make our conditions worse. It's not about hospitals pushing for more expensive tests. Overall we just want something better.

private health should be subsidized for all citizens, can easily be funded for all if we legalize selling marijuana can even build some houses :o

 @9JKG8RGanswered…10mos10MO

Healthcare should not be free, as the government needs to fund other services and healthcare can be used as a way to develop the economy further.

 @8RC6QNYanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but with moderation to ensure that patients aren't exploited for profit.
