  • A pyramidal model is proposed for rationing services, with fewer individuals receiving care at higher levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model suggests prioritizing children over adults, especially the elderly.
    • It calls for limiting research with high costs and uncertain social returns.
    • Americans would need to accept limitations on life extension and individual cures.

    Conclusions:

    • A shift from aspirations to limits is necessary for sustainable healthcare.
    • Rationing services and establishing clear priorities are essential for managing medical progress.
