everybody rations. the debate is over who makes the rationing decision. and one example i can give you for example would be look, if we had every american get a ct brain scan everything -- every year we would catch a dozen cancers. no body is going to do that. some countries ration it by fiat saying you cannot have a ct scan. you don't qualify under whatever set of qualifications and you can't have one. some countries like canada ration by queue saying you can have one every day but we only have one scanner available so you might have to wait six month do is get in. in the united states we ration it by price. it cost about $1,000 to have a ct. if you want one, you can pay it for. if you don't want to pay a $1,000 you don't get one. the chances of you having brain cancer are small for you but maybe your father died of brain cancer or your uncle. maybe you would sleep better knowing you don't have it. to you it might be worth a $1,000 so allowing you to make the choice is the better answer. >> host: more consumer choice is part of the solution. >> guest: it
