    Meh, casting healthcare as a "right" is a distraction.

    Markets are great, but they aren't great at everything. I see absolutely no real-world evidence that healthcare can function well as a market-driven enterprise. No other industrialized nation is trying to control/enact it as such, and there might be a reason. Most other nations also frown on privatized military, privatized police, privatized roads, etc.

    The closest to a market-based healthcare system in an industrialized nation (besides us, with our Reagan-enacted jackalope crony-capitalist/socialist hybrid) would be ... wait for it ... Switzerland.
