As with so many things in healthcare, if it's such a great system, why isn't it used for the military? Medevac helicopters are really expensive, so why not make individual troops decide whether their case merits a few year's pay?

Misplaced sarcasm aside, the military makes very excessive use of basic triage.

Medevac is not called for 'asthma attacks' I can assure you.
