Color me skeptical that our healthcare system contributes to our being more innovative than our peers. Looking at the way it distributes risk (bumpily and with little certainty) and the immense cost of it, I'd expect precisely the opposite. > Clearly our system is bad, but there are multiple ways to skin a cat. I'd love to see a hyper-free-market system work for this. It'd be great. So much simpler. I'd like to see it happen somewhere else first, though. Meanwhile all our best examples are not that and I'll take something working in practice over working in theory any day.
