making choices all the time for everything is very taxing and energy consuming, and at some point I just want to be taken care of

That seems shockingly lazy to me, and possibly dangerous.




Let me clarify that when I'm sick, I just want to be taken care of, I'm not saying that should apply to everything.

On to choices, having many choices do not make people happier, but rather the opposite, there is plenty of research backing this up. Obviously having no ability to choose makes people unhappy as well. I don't think it's laziness realizing and acting on what makes us happy and what doesn't.


If one doctor or hospital is objectively better than the other, I want to be able to choose the better one, even if having to actually choose is not fun.


How do you know which hospital is better? What metrics are you looking for?
