I posted an interview about the open-pricing surgery center of Oklahoma which actually goes into how a free market healthcare system would work.

A free market system would make for even more uneven differentiation in health care quality - with some people not being able to receive care at all at the end of the day. Yes, on average we would have better health outcomes (same as most people would have better outcomes on average if you didn't require car insurance, since most people don't end up using it), but the few outlier cases would be significantly more tragic than they already are.

Yea, i'm quite liberal but in my perspective it's not about what works best - but what's most moral. To me capitalism runs by greed, which isn't a bad thing, but you can't depend on greed to be inline with moral based outcomes. Competition might be best, but how often do companies decide that competition is not in their favor? Frequently it's gamed/etc.

So my view is that anything that matters, like healthcare, should not be managed by capitalism. It can play a part, but something motivated by human good should be at the core of some decision making processes. Which capitalism is definitely not. Government has far to go, but capitalism has no place in moral based decision making. Imo.
