>Sure- I experience it every day anywhere else in the free world. The US has the most expensive healthcare and now is shown to have the worst quality. Looks like the market soundbites aren't working in real life!

The most expensive is probably true.

"Market Soundbites"
I am confused.
We have not had a consumer driven free market that I have ever seen.
I first paid for my own insurance in 1977 when I purchased an HMO plan.
It was third party payer then and ever since.

Why did you think we had a consumer driven free market before?
