In this paper, the researchers critically appraise the application of welfare approach from both conceptual and empirical perspectives. The alleged limitations of the welfare approach are essentially limitations in its application, not in the capacity of the approach to accommodate the concerns of extra-welfare. Moreover, the arguments used to justify the application of the extra-welfare framework are essentially welfare. The methods used to measure quality adjusted life years share their basic theoretical roots with welfare valuation methods, such as willingness to pay. Willingness to pay provides a method which performs better with respect to those challenges. In the context of evaluating alternative allocations of health care resources we are left asking what is ‘extra’ in extra-welfarism.

Healthcare, economic evaluation, willingness to pay, quality adjusted life years, etc.
