Interesting stuff indeed, and it comes with a giant implication that few want to face. In the US, a country that so embarrassingly struggles with the finance of health care, preferring to insert inessential insurance and bloated pharma industries between patients and decent health outcomes, we have to expect that the news that treatment itself may be optional will be most eagerly received by those industries. It is not good to hand a fig leaf such as this idea to industries that profit from withholding care.
