Even drinking water is subject to regulations, though. Nothing is ever that simple. :)

- mikeash 14y ago"Even"? Drinking water is heavily regulated for good reasons. It's also extremely cheap. There are a lot of other examples of highly regulated industries providing cheap services, something I wonder of others are aware of when they talk about the need to reduce regulation to cut costs. Health care as a regulated public utility like electricity, water, and phone lines doesn't seem like a bad model to shoot for.
