I hear you, but reducing the incidence of someone's limbs dying because they were not allowed to get follow-up care from emergency surgery, or reducing the incidence of a 40 year old woman with advanced dementia because she didn't get basic treatment for her diabetes - that's worth it.
These folks could be doing other, more productive things with their lives, rather than wasting away in the shadows while we debate the national merit of saving them.

Treatment for diabetes is one of those narrow areas. We know this because private health insurance companies will pay for measures that improve compliance.
