>it would be so expensive that funding for other health programs would need to be reduced

But that's a different thing. I'm sorry, I will not talk about that.

For people setting policies (and that includes doctors) cost is absolutely not a different thing.

If you can afford to pay for everything without involving insurance, by all means do whatever tests you want. If you're a doctor you don't want to maybe help Betty while definitely hiring Veronica.
