That would be a huge mistake. In a deregulated market you will have more predatory middlemen not less. You would have everyone scrambling for the high end serving the top 25% population at high cost and no one wanting to serve the bottom 50% because they can’t afford it and there are lots of fixed costs (good luck hiring qualified doctors and nurses, equipment etc). We could go back to when a dentist was someone on a stool by the side of the road with a pair of pliers, because that’s the level of health care that poor would be able to afford. Health care has to be a universal right that a society provides for its citizens. We have no problem with subsiding the military and defense industry to the tune of $750B a year. I’d rather spend that on having a healthy and educated population. If only we had our priorities straight.
