The colonoscopy is a good example of a procedure which on the macro level is low on the list of things that save lives. A planer, who will always be acting with limited resources, would be rational to not offer this service.
Colonoscopy’s do save lives though and individuals have different medical budgets. Given different budgets it is rational for some to get colonoscopies while others should not.
I speculate that is is very rare to find a doctor who if you ask if you should get a colonoscopy will ask you how much money you make or what you medical budget is before giving you an answer.
