Markets, such as they are currently implemented in the US, empirically give health care providers all the leverage. You can blame "human beings" for the fact that they then abuse this power -- or you can do what nearly every other developed country in the world has done and fix the problem by taking (some of) it away.

Your analysis is not a market criticism or advocacy, is that the stacks are in favor of one against the other, and you wished the stacks were in your favor instead. Thats what all players want. How they go about getting their advantages is the market.

  Thats what all players want. That's not true. There are people who advocate for other systems, and there are people who actually find more satisfaction in everyone getting a good deal rather than themselves getting everything and screwing everyone else over.

    That other system always screws someone, and its never them.

      I believe you have been tricked by survivor bias. There is a great deal of evidence of against what you say. Your statements are absolutist; I believe you are speaking from ideology.
