Unregulated #capitalism on services with inelastic demand--especially with something so complex as healthcare--results in what we're seeing, I think, as well as absurd subsidies like what we have today.

I think if we switched from a primarily subsidized system to a primarily privatized system, costs would go down, but I fear that the quality of care might as well.

It's good to lower costs, I just don't want that to hurt a whole too many people.
