No, except that the India study would indicate otherwise, and fits your hypothesis of a less steep increase, with most of it being costs not visits, and the dutch epidemiological study with alternative-medicine GP study showcases decreased mortality with seeking less healthcare (marginally if you consider a homeopathic GP to still be a “real doctor”, significantly if you don’t)
<someone on /r/ssc mentioned an indian study that did find better mortality outcomes for 2 diseases but failed to report total mortality, still, goes against this claim>
But overall, as stated in the article, I agree there’s some marginal form of healthcare that is useful, I give emergency rooms as prime examples, I would go to an emergency room in a heartbeat in a situation that actually required one. I actually think it’s much bigger than ER. It’s just that, statistically speaking, we are likely overconsuming healthcare to our detriment in terms of time and money, and potentially even health outcomes.
