No, no, no, no, nonononono!Actually, healthcare is in many ways, monopolized, and not governed by market forces. An example is the little (oops, huge) gift to Big Pharma we've come to know and love as Medicare Part D, or the Prescription Drug Bill ... oft sighted as the worst piece of legislation ever passed, fiscally speaking. No bidding on prescription drugs, as all other countries can, so we pay their asking price, whatever it is. And that's not a marketplace. It's a legislated monopoly, in effect.
Exactly. We need to bust up the monopoly, not turn it into a government sponsored cartel.
To the committed progressive socialist, failure of authoritarian central control is evidence that more authoritarian central control is called for!
Get with the program!
