Government does not own the means to provide health care so it doesn’t fit the definition of socialism.
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid probably doesn’t fit the definition either but even the politicians admit they are a mess. Yet many believe the same politicians could actually reform the nations healthcare system. They want more of the very thing that is making it ill.
So now if the government does not provide healthcare, who does, the free market?
But if it is the market, why are costs soaring out of control?
The open competition in markets usually produce better quality products, lower costs and innovation. It is (competition) the discovery process–driven by consumer choice–that tells producers what consumers want and the price they are willing to pay.
