Have you just read half of what I wrote or the whole thing? Did you stop at this post and quote me or read the rest of the thread first?

Costs are high because of government intervention. Your choices of insurance carriers are limited because of government intervention. I don't really know how much more clear on this I can be.

If you want lower costs and more options, get the government out of the way.


I read all your posts.

All I got is blah blah blah free market good, government bad...

you're like a broken record advocating deregulating everything...

Which means you don't pay attention to them, you skim them with irritation that I don't concede to your views.   

If I sound like the proverbial broken record, it is only because it is necessary to repeat them as they are either ignored or attacked via straw man logic. 

Why don't you tell me why we need the current level of government intervention in all facets of health care?   Convince me that my ideals are wrong.

Each time someone brings a point you mark it as annecdotal, don't answer and move on.

 

Besides the obvious glaring issue that some of the big issue today in healthcare comes because of monopole and free market isn't going to regulate that.

And the end goal of free market isn't to be fair to everyone and healthcare is one area where the goal isn't to maximise profit...

 

PS : when I speak of monopole I don't speak of insurance I speak of the fact that a lot of the new biotech treatment are only available from one company ( like Enbrel that mentionned above).

How is free market going to lower the cost of the a prescription when it is only available from one company ?
