Healthcare time ratio

Postby quantropy » Fri Jan 27, 2017 7:39 pm

The cost/benefit calculations for healthcare sometimes use QALY's (Quality adjusted life years). But since the cost can be measured in work-hours, let's measure the benefit in terms of hours of life gained as well (even if QALH's doesn't slip of the tongue). What ratio of time worked to time gained would you consider acceptable. Should it be significantly less than 1, or is it worthwhile to put in more time contributing to someone's health than they will get back as a result?

I would agree Aussie Medicare is better than Obamacare. But its not better Healthcare than the US system. The system has more safety for all, but the overall care is not equal.
