Biggest problem is that in the US we keep trying to apply capitalism to something that does not really fit the supply/demand model. EVERYONE will get sick or injured, and at that point it is not a a luxury. When you get a heart attack, it is not a choice weather you go to get medical attention. Therefore you cannot run it as a free and open capital market.
Besides how is it that we are the wealthiest country the world has ever known and yet we fail to provide the basics (health, education, and care for the elderly) to our citizenry?
The root issue is the US will be forced to re-evaluate its blind allegiance to capitalism as the end all be all system to regulate costs and provide services. We need a more balanced approach.
