I think the free market system is a wonderful way to go for health care reform. We currently don't have a free market in health care reform because insurance companies cannot compete across state lines. You are stuck with the policy you have and do not have the choice to find truly affordable health care.
An example would be Apple. Apple is making tons of money and no one is screaming about their corporate greed. I don't hear anyone saying that an iPod costs too much. Apple has given the technology industry a decade of great innovation because they were interested in, get this, profits! How dare them, I don't want my iPod anymore. This is what a truly free market will give us.
We have been brainwashed to think that our current system of healthcare is broken because of the greedy corporate executives of the insurance companies. Yes, they are driven by profits just like Apple but their hands are tied by the current Federal and State laws designed to protect us.
For a free market to truly exist it actually has to be a free market.
