Ive seen bold claims with broken links. Nothing that will break the laws of economics.
I've already pointed out how obviously our current system isnt free market with so many bad regulations and so much intervention and mandates.
Anyone with common sense will tell you a freer strategy will drive down prices.

but oh hey public education. just another example of inefficient government intervention at work.

i didn't say that. I'm not an idiot though that looks at a study and blindly accepts its conclusions. I've spent half of my major learning how to interpret results and to be able to tell whether or not the conclusions are solid or not (said interpreter) is making.



mental illness comprises like < 5% of the entire major of psychology. The majority of the study of psych has nothing to do with classification of disorders, nor are most people interested in said trash.

There are no "laws" of economics. Again, demonstrating your lack of knowledge regarding economics.

You're aware that Germany has a system that is very similar to the American one, that is even more heavily regulated, and achieves much lower costs.

Singapore attempted to use a "free market" highly competitive system with medical savings accounts and catastrophic insurance...it turned out to be grossly inefficient, until after the government put in place several regulations that controlled costs.

Go read the Arrow paper I posted...it's by far the most cited health economics paper...it details why the health market is far different than any other market.
