I agree, however this is the unfortunate reality of the private healthcare system maximizing for profit. Consumers rarely have proper choice in shopping around or choosing doctors and insurance providers take advantage of this by inventing as many different systems as they can to avoid paying out.

That's why I think full free market healthcare simply won't work. It's far too much at odds with people that need medical care, made worse if you need timely medical care.

If you have a M4A, you have less choices not more.

The last thing I would call healthcare in the us is free market.


I need healthcare, not an infinite number of unaffordable "options".


Less options doesn't make it more affordable. More options does.
