Funny how all of the best health care systems in the world aren’t market or profit driven.
Feel free to dispute this with evidence; theories about hypothetical markets in utopias are so boring.

why offer well evidenced critiques against a position that was based on no evidence…?
Actually india’s healthcare is doing pretty good with being market driven.
What evidence do you base your “best healthcare systems” in the world on? If I was a doctor I would certainly be motivated by profit. I also gladly give doctors profit to encourage him to treat me well.
A small side note… My general practicioner charges me $85 for a full physical and blood work. I think that is very reasonable. That gets me about an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half with him. Very thorough indeed. The catch: he doesn’t take insurance. Cash or check at the door. No medical billers, no fighting insurance for every penny. Great care, great price. O yea, and no wait. He is located in Toms River, NJ. +%50 on the Medicare RBRVU scale.
<<< Why did he list Cuba? >>>
Coz Cuba has universal healthcare at no cost.
…except your freedom
Singapore has a pretty good system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Singapore
It’s one of the “most free market” out there.
I was reading about that the other day. We should have adopted a system more like theirs instead of going in the corporate-right direction we did with ours earlier this year.
I think we should send Rob to one of these Cuban hospitals, don’t you agree?
Enjoy a high protein diet during your stay:

Someone always pays: just not necessarily voluntarily.

Wow so much wrong with this short, simple statement. On the other hand it is very useful for pointing out the socialist delusion that one can get something for nothing (no cost). Too bad we don’t live in a world with no scarcity. That would be sweet. Until such a time, it’s an epic fail my man.
