“Free market systems are likely to deliver better care at lower cost than the current bizarre hybrid of employer-paid private insurance, government regulation, and user/payor separation.”
I love this little bit of magical thinking. A truly free-market isn’t free for very long. Power aggregates and suddenly there’s a greedy oligarchy requiring government intervention to prevent the worst abuses of environment and public welfare. It is simply human nature and something that “libertarians” seem intent on forgetting. A free-market requires non-partisan controls, but then it’s not really a free-market, is it?
