Quote:I'm sorry. What power do insurance companies have? They went screaming to the State's designated bureaucrats, who pulled out their law books and threatened to revoke his license to practice medicine. I guess if that didn't stop him from treating the sick at too low a price, then jail time might do the trick.
It is this system that you seem so hellbent on protecting, where insurance companies are the only providers of health care, that caused this. This is your free market, protected, as it is, by the government. I can't see how any fair minded individual can look at that article and conclude that if there was no government, things would be okay, but we shouldn't dare touch the companies. I look at that and conclude that the insurance companies are the root cause.
