"Return on invested capital is a far better allocator of resources, IMO. Even with its problems."

ROI is a great resource allocator, when you want an efficient mechanism that provides exactly what the consumers wants to buy.

The big problem in health care is, that modern health care can do much more than what an informed consumer can buy. ROI works absolutely perfectly for boob jobs, but not for buying diagnoses or treatments for unprecise/unknown diagnoses. Nobody has provided a good answer to this simple question: Where do you buy good health?
