Even so, when was the last time someone needed cancer treatment but said "ooh, that's pricey, nah, I'd rather buy a new car instead". This is my main argument

Even so, when was the last time someone needed cancer treatment but said "ooh, that's pricey, nah, I'd rather buy a new car instead".
This is my main argument against private healthcare: there's no real choice involved. Without even getting into what a free market is and perfect information etc, the main advantage of a capitalist society is you get to choose what you like. Nobody chooses healthcare (at least, not the super expensive part).
- tastyfreeze 2y agoA large portion of healthcare could be free market. Insurance should be for unlikely events not every single thing deemed "medical". My home and auto insurance don't cover regular costs for maintenance. Why must health insurance cover a checkup with the doctor?
- SoftTalker 2y ago> This is my main argument against private healthcare: there's no real choice involved. Is your argument that there is choice involved in public healthcare? Or simply that it's not even a question?
- WalterBright 2y agoThere are many options for cancer treatment, with different prices, efficacy, misery, etc. > Nobody chooses healthcare Yeah, they do. Root canal vs implant vs dentures, for example. Ozempic vs diet+exercise, for another.
