So not only shouldn’t healthcare be a market good (moral argument), but healthcare profiteers are actively distorting the market and are not taking seriously efforts to provide a modicum of information to participants in this so-called market.
Can't really be a market with such obscure pricing and inelastic demand.
Even given inelastic demand, a market with open, easily available pricing would be freer and fairer than what we have today.
It’s one of the most complicated and regulated markets on earth. Yet both the critics and supporters think it’s a free market.
Would a free market be better? Probably overall, but the bar is very, very low. Instead of running another decades-long experiment, perhaps just use a model proven to work? There are many to choose from.
