Redistributing Health Care

The State of New York's decision to limit the number of patients' medical office visits is a clever take on redistribution: Medical care will now be available to people who do not need it, an under-served subset. It will free up medical offices to see more people who are healthy--and they are a lot less expensive to care for.

The only more effective plan would be to shoot the ill when they show up for their appointment.
