What does profit margins have to do with it? At times very little, at times lots. Wasn't really the point.

Why does what I say make it a zero sum game? It's managing a limited amount of resources to try and provide the best possible service. The point was in a more socialist health service like the NHS it can't afford to give everyone the best possible treatment. The general level of service for everyone shouldn't be cut to save the lives of a tiny proportion of people. Some types of treatment or healthcare just don't make sense from a resource management perspective.
And unfortunately when we are working with finite resources decisions like spend x amount of money on a or b have to be made and for some people that's a death sentence but the point is to always try and pick the best possible choice.
