Just like organ transplants.

I think I read somewhere a while ago that Canada just ranks all the 
treatments in terms of value per dollar, then adds up the dollars until they 
run out of budget, and then says "anyone with these problems below this line 
isn't going to get cured", basically.  Seems like a reasonable way to go.
