Yes, insurers are a big part of the problem. But it's not the whole problem. I can't find the link now. But I linked to a story about how Louisiana (I think) had "magnetized" the majority of their hospitals such that the capacity for broad spectrum care was isolated to few locations, difficult

Why execute only the 3 games with only the 2 cases? Why not include at least stag hunt for reference and maybe a couple of starting points in between like, x∈{0.45,0.55}? Did you try such and see uninteresting curves? Or are the cases you chose rhetorical? On 1/15/22 05:00, Jochen Fromm wrote:
