no, because policies governing access to health care should not share a lot of commonalities with R&D efforts in medical science and technology. The former should be public, while the latter should be commercially driven as much as possible. In our country, the former is predominantly privatized, while the latter is public funded. As a result, we have shown relatively slow progress in R&D while doling out sub-standard health care.

p.s. I really like this statement - "You start to understand how an economy works when you realize Karl Marx and Adam Smith were hitting on the same idea". It is accurate in that both men seeked a more efficient economic system - a far cry from what we have today. What we should have is a combination of both ideas - merging public guarantee of basic rights with the concept of private property.
