When enough employers chose the logical alternative, there COULD be an opportunity to revive a free market in health care. Perhaps, but I think not. You see, healthcare like energy access, is becoming something of a right in this country, with a general confusion being made between healthcare and health insurance. The confusion is beneficial to liberal policy wonks. The government is already struggling to increasingly regulate insurance and the entire healthcare industry. It will likely become prohibitive to make large investments in this area because healthcare business leaders will be proscribed from seeking even the most valid efficiencies. Baby boomers are aging. These folks are of the morally corrupt Bill Clinton "give me something for nothing" generation. I anticipate another government monstrosity to extend healthcare to them and to everyone. That will complete the American government's near total command of its citizens without our even knowing it.
