> People are quick to jump to free market reasoning because it's quick, easy, and requires little to no thought or nuance ... to defend something that is broken, because it assuages their belief in the just world fallacy. I would say that we could actually use more freer market dynamics for many aspects of healthcare. But they need to be appropriately applied to areas where there are specific problems that can actually be fixed with things like more transparency, patient choice, etc - AND NOT in ways that merely justify the existence of problems or even exacerbate them!
