You're holding up Capitalism as some sort of magic cure all totem. Free Markets work for a lot of things, but Health Care is not one of them.
And you came to this conclusion how?
Healthcare has been regulated since 1840. So unless the powers-that- be allow the free market to work you do not know what it can do,
Care to explain to me again how a system that is required by law and by oath to provide goods and services first, and inquire about payment second, is going to succeed as a free market economy?
Care to explain to me how the free market will build rural hospitals, or even work in the first place in communities with a single hospital and/or doctor?
Again, holding up Capitalism as a cure all is a pleasant game, but it isn't a practical one. There are some things for which Capitalism doesn't work, just as there are things for which Socialism doesn't work either. Its the reason neither one has ever existed in a "pure" form in the world to date. Both have issues.
