Manson got me thinking about how unjust our healthcare system really is

3. sadly, ask that question in today's political circus and they'll just take it away from prisoners.

indeed, it's a basic right.

the free market depends on voluntary choices. you know, freedom.

the free market doesn't work properly when something is essentially a mandatory expense.
at least, it doesn't work unless there is a great deal of easy choice.

healthcare is a mandatory expense, and there's usually very little choice for many reasons.

few doctors, especially in a particular specialty, in an area to choose from;
few medicines that work on your particular condition;
few procedures that treat your particular ailment;
few few hospitals in the area to choose from;
few insurance companies to choose from, and they all are basically the same. expensive and horrible on approving anything or paying claims.

it's a recipe for skyrocketing prices without adding any real value.
