The verdict: competition is dwindling. In 24 of the 43 states studied, the two biggest insurers together covered at least 70 percent of the market.

In any case, I am left with the feeling that it is nearly impossible to govern a country within your model of "every man for himself" ideology. Hitler...Polpot...Stalin....Castro felt the same way. They figured they could do it better by taking over. You are sure in some good company

I am left with the feeling that it is nearly impossible to govern a country within your model of "every man for himself" ideology. In one of my economics classes a great book which described the economics of various issues. Several came down to the cost of information. People who were connected had better access to information. The internet has leveled the playing field. Are you saying you would rather live in a totalitarian dictatorship than remain free? "every man for himself" = FREEDOM. The opposite is slavery.
