Okay, I’ll take your word that Healthcare has never been a free market. So where are you going with this. How free are we talking? Do we get rid of insurance altogether because it encourages overuse of resources? Give drug patents the ole heave ho? Stop the AMA from regulating the number of doctors? What country would be a good example of free market healthcare that you’re advocating?
It seems to me that while most people here hate socialised medicine I’m curious as to how well this kind of change would be accepted by John Q Public. In its own way it would be as revolutionary a change as implementing single payer. Moreover I’m curious as to how the medical community feels when what you’re effectively doing in a free market is forcing doctors to compete. Is it a good thing to get your heart bypass done on sale?
