You can't have market capitalism in an industry whose product is your life.
That is the problem now. The medical industry is not free market capitalism now.
The industry tells you how much you will pay for their services AFTER they perform them, and they get away with this.
They also tell you which services you will pay for.
The industry puts controls in place to prevent people from conducting do it yourself healthcare. Government rules are put in place to prevent this.
Restrictions are put on Americans as to where and how they can obtain drugs.
You could go on and on. Every advanced nation in the world has figured it out but us. We have bought into the industry propaganda, who have purchased our government representatives, as well as media figures we listen to.
Medicare for those that want it.
The first nail in the coffin for "for profit" life saving.

Their healthcare is shite, though.

Here’s an small example of what’s wrong with government health coverage: diabetic test strips are limited by M/C to one testing per day if not using insulin even though Doc recommends testing twice per day. Problem is if Docs orders are followed test strips will be used before M/C will pay for refill. You can purchase out of pocket but they are expensive $1.25 per strip.
