Health care is not a market.
It lacks any of the vital features of a market.
Before the vast expansion of Medicare and Medicaid, most people paid out of pocket for routine care and small emergencies.
And costs were reasonable.
The vast expansion of government into health care is the cause of 90% of the problems in the field.
Starting with huge cost over-runs in Medicare and Medicaid that are passed onto private consumers, including those with insurance.
