So a free market solution to the Health Care Crisis is to keep an entity entirely
based on profit between you are your doctor.

Oh and to make the Free Market solution seem even more remote, how's about making Health Care be provided by your employer who also has a profit motive in mind when he selects the Health Care plan that you can have.

So let's see now, two profit motivated entities stand between you, the consumer, and your Doctor.

Now add an even more bizarre aspect of our current Free Market. To buy the same coverage that is offered to you by your employee you get to pay four or five times what you are paying through payroll deductions. Why? Because you are now an individual consumer and do not get the discount that is offered to a group.

So this is all okay with everyone.

Right?

1. You cynic!
Yeah, this is free, all right...

Maybe for those groups that stand between you and your doctor...

Not for us.
