Q

What is the problem with option 2 - to each person according to individual need?

A

Sometimes people have the same degree of need at the same time so how do you choose?
You then go to egalitarian - like look who has been waiting the longest.
Or use a score to determine if someone is an ICU candidate more than another but also determine if that’s a viable option for them
