Those are consumed items.. insurance isn't. But speaking of consume, Walmart would be a great example of more creates cheaper. The more people that buy into insurance, the more healthy people that pay in, the more it balances out the costs of sick people.
Them being for profit, stock profit at that.. forces them to cut costs and keep increasing them too, to keep investors happy. So they drop high costs, keep low costs, and increase the rates all around to make up for lost income volume. Regulate that, and we can add more people back in and they won't have to force profits to grow to keep investors happy.

Yes, that's exactly how the free market works, people are in business to make profits. I don't think walmart gives a shit about me either or truly any major corporation. Hell, I'm in business for me, not the other person at that.

It is.. and like other Countries proper regulations can control the scam or remove it all together while allowing the business to still operate within the free market.

Unfortunately that doesn't work when everything else around you is inflated so dreaming that the cost of medical would go down so low that everyone could afford it, is simply that... a dream.
