health insurance markets suffer from overregulation, which limits innovation in both insurance and new ways of delivering medical care.

Until recently, it seems I was one of very few people who spoke about deregulation in healthcare. Glad to see that more people are seeing this. Overregulation - along with the dominant culture of defensive medicine - are extremely expensive.

They claim that Medicare is run cheaply. Maybe it is - up to the point when the money is handed over to the actual "carriers" - the traditional insurance companies who do all the administrative work. What happens with the taxpayer Medicare money down the road is that much of it ends up paying for the costs of compliance with government regulations. And the costs of defensive medicine, of course.
