ParticipantGovernment 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.
Governments view of business according to Reagan:
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”

ParticipantSK in CV,
The American Hospital Association?
Is this the entity that gives existing hospitals veto power wether another hospital is to be built where it operates?
The private/public hospital figures are from Milton Friedman’s “Input and Output in Medical care.

ParticipantNeetaT,
At the beginning of the 20th century, 90 percent of hospitals were private, for-profit enterprises.
State and local governments began taking over the hospital industry that by early 1990s only 10 percent are.If not socialism, what should we call this,
the free market?ParticipantNeetaT,
