[QUOTE="fdxsux, post: 2164184, member: 36946"] Healthcare isn't a "free market". The healthy people in the insurance pool subsidize the costs for the sick people. In a true " free market" everyone would be responsible for all their costs. Because the costs are subsidized, healthcare providers can charge more than they otherwise could. Likewise, healthcare professionals make more than they otherwise would. The "free market" you speak of would actually lower the cost of healthcare services. Would you go see your physician more often or less often if you had to pay the full $100-150? Those that are sick would pay more than they do now while those that are healthy would pay nothing, but the actual cost of services would go down. [/QUOTE]
