people are not qualified to make medical decisions and should trust their doctors.
And this isn't relevant. People are in control of their money and have to make that decision, regardless of their qualifications. They can trust the doctor, but they still need the information to be able to choose whether to spend the money or not.
I'm a big free market fan, I just don't see how we can let people make a cost benefit analysys of their health care when the cost is generally unavailable and the benefits are unknown.
That's my point, the cost and benefit information needs to be available.
