		<description>Said Berwick, &quot;You can say, &#039;Well, we shouldn’t even look.&#039; But that would be irrational. The social budget is limited — we have a limited resource pool. It makes terribly good sense to at least know the price of an added benefit, and at some point we might say nationally, regionally, or locally that we wish we could afford it, but we can’t. We have to be realistic about the knowledge base.&quot;</description>
