Has he changed his position since being elected or did people just not pay attention at first?

I agree on the view that many spending more on health issues these days. Any new health product that hit town will surely be on good sales.

However whilst willingness to pay increases, you have a decreasing return on expenditure, e.g $1 at 25 buys 1 year, $10 at 60 buys 1 year, $100 at 70 buys 6 months, $1000 at 75 buys 6 months, $10,000 at 85 buys 6 months, $10,000 at 90 buys 3 months. So what you have is decreasing returns on additional marginal expenditure (productivity story). So withour reading Greg Mankiw views, the problem with the QJE article is that they have only considered half the equation. If this is about govt expenditure they need to consider the counterfactual return on the extra dollars expenditure (i.e. greater QALY gained by investing in immunisation for 5 year olds, warm homes, better internet etc).

If its just private consumption of health care, then the additional consumption is only limited by your personal endowments. On this basis Bill Gates possibly could live to be 200+.
