I'm not so sure. Lung transplants can be incredibly beneficial for patients with end-stage lung disease, even if the cost is high. Isn't that the kind of intervention that would be on a steep part of the curve?

I'm not sure, but I think lung transplants could also be a major benefit for a relatively modest cost.

Childhood immunizations definitely seem like the correct answer here. The benefits of preventing deadly diseases like polio and measles are huge, and the cost is relatively modest compared to something like a lung transplant.
