Like just chopping off a leg instead of spending a 12 hour operation and months of physiotherapy to save it.
Letting people die from chronic conditions instead of managing them.
Letting old people die, because the cost of medical treatment was too high.
Not performing operations for heart disease, so people got one heart attack and then died a year later.
Which we could totally go back to, it really is a lot cheaper.
