Here's another installment of rationality quotes. The usual rules apply:
- Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
- Do not quote yourself.
- Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, Overcoming Bias, or HPMoR.
- No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
That depends on how long "we" have been reading Overcoming Bias.
Hanson's point is that we often over-treat to show we care- not that 0 health care is optimal. Medicaid patients don't really have to worry about overtreatment.
