Unleash the free market in healthcare!

What’s ailing our current health care system and what can we do to improve it? I have been discussing in prior posts what’s ailing our current health care system, and why I think political solutions will only perpetuate the problems.  So what are my big ideas?  I don’t claim to have all the answers, and the ideas I’m about to present aren’t even original.  However, I think more people need to at least hear the ideas and their underlying rationale to decide for themselves what makes sense. 

Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn’t we?

I received some excellent feedback from my article advocating free market pricing in health care.  The reader questioned why other advanced countries with universal health care seem to have better health outcomes at lower cost.  This is a complicated question which merits its own article.  The major obstacle to discussing this topic is the conflation of terms involved.
