Health Care Mumbo Jumbo
David Laibson mentioned how if you give people randomly assigned health care, and then give them the options to change two weeks later, they tend not to. Sendhil Mullainathan mentioned how health care providers systematically recommend the same plan no matter what medical history the caller (a senior citizen) had and no matter what cocktail of medicines (s)he was on. Thoughts?
