When you design a healthcare system that favors the rich (load it with super expensive options) the health care of the poor will deteriorate. ... You have to make the proper tradeoffs so that you can maximize the benefits for opposing or contending interests. The market has done this with a relative degree of efficiency. To believe that government could allocate resources more efficiently than private enterprises would be to ignore the lessons of failed socialist systems. The reason I favor free markets is that I don't like government bureaucrats determining life span by cutting off further medical care. Do you want a government employee telling you that you will be dead soon because they will not authorize medical benefits for a person with your medical conditions? For some reason this seems particularly appropriate: "LIVE FREE OR DIE."
