From the Paper:

"More medical schools are graduating more doctors and more private groups are funding health care research. In addition, many diseases which once decimated society are being brought under control. In many ways, the United States health care system is a victim of its own success. Rapid developments of beneficial medical technology has produced a situation in which funding all interventions that would provide some health benefit to some patients would preclude spending on any other desirable social good."
