I’d love to see evidence supporting the claim that a free market would make these things come to pass. Otherwise, this comes across as a list of things you’d like to see, with “the free market” standing in as the just-so story that will magically right all that is wrong
- darth_avocado 3y agoI’d like to see evidence supporting it doesn’t work. If something hasn’t been done before, it’s really hard to provide evidence without actually doing it. I unfortunately cannot change it by my own, so I cannot provide evidence on what would hypothetically happen if we ban lobbying, get politicians motivated to allow a competitive free market, have the government participate in healthcare and do bunch of other things. I can provide examples of different models of public/private healthcare existing in the same market, if health insurance and healthcare being more accessible and being cheaper across the world. All of these systems have more than one aspect of my “wishlist” if not all. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Healthcare-Systems-Around-the-World.aspx https://www.news-medical.net/health/Healthcare-Systems-Aroun...
- verall 3y agoI wanted to say that the charitable interpretation is that these things are basically prerequisites for the market to be "free" enough for any invisible hand efficiencies to arise - low barrier to entry, consumers are cost-conscious and have free choice, no anti-competitive bundling between provider, pharmacy, and insurance services. But then I hit F5 and see that they explicitly feel these things will just come about given a "free market". Oh well.
