Freemarket for healthcare is stupid.
You are poor? You die.
You are rich? Here is a nice bed and 3 doctors to care for you.
I do not want to live in that world. I do not want my children to live in that world.

There likely will never be endless free healthcare for everybody. Until then its rationed. How do you do that? As my old minister used to say, we can have all the morals we can afford.
I'm also in favor of reasonable free healthcare for everybody, to a point. Because, enlightened self-interest. Its cheaper to have a healthy populace, for everybody.
So some middle ground is necessary, between blue-sky endless free healthcare, and a free market.
You are rich? Fly to that other country for immediate treatment.
There are pros and cons to everything. The trick is to find the middle ground that suits the most people possible the best it can. I'm just not convinced a total government solution is best for everybody across the board.
In the current world, not everyone gets treatment.
I think I will take these problems over the current.
That is, until you have to sit in severe pain for six months.
