But practically speaking, heart disease remains the #1 cause of death due to bottlenecks in care delivery: e.g., 46% U.S. counties have no cardiologists, providing guideline-recommended preventive care would require ~27 hours per doctor per day, and incentives are misaligned (health systems profit when hospital beds are full, not from prevention).
Supposed that we have an incentive aligned health care system. What would that look like?
I think one outcome is that the healthcare system eventually expands due to population growth and less death. Accidents happen, rare cases become more common, even as we get good at fixing or preventing them.
