It's neither a good or a bad thing. The US system isn't the only way a marketdriven system can be and a lot of it's problems are lobby and politics related. Market demand is a good thing in the sense that it creates better allocation of resources. The US doesn't have a healthcare market driven by market demand. But the fact is that the US system has more advanced treatment methods. The problem is that it's not evenly distributed.
