Capitalism is great for what you want, terrible for what you need.
- elamje 7y agoI like the catchiness of the phrase....but....A lot of this has to do with regulation, and how there is very little pricing transparency in health care. Same service at the same place costs 50 different prices for 50 different people. You need transparent pricing to enable competition. Right now that’s hardly the case, and eye care is hardly a big issue compared to most other medical procedures.
- harry8 7y agoCapitalism is fine. Much of what big business captured politics claim is capitalism is in fact, cronyism. This problem under discussion is not caused by capitalism but by regulatory capture.
