Enjoying your debate. Can either of you share your views on the age as a red herring argument as discussed by Wong et al and others? There is a link to the original paper in here http://goo.gl/dciDp. In summary age isn't a problem for healthcare expenditure but proximity to death is. My studies show that, systemically, there is no understanding of demand from a users perspective. As a result indicators like utilisation and LoS are blunt tools at best.
