It's absolutely the same, has COVID taught you nothing about what happens to an economy when an diseases are out of controll?

Do you think disease ridden population carrying ringworms earns well, shows up for work reliably and are good customers?

If healthcare was left to free market completely, we'd see return of The Plague!

What evidence of this do you have? Because, in the US, healthcare largely is free market and we do not have the return of any plague or anything similar. In fact, it's free markets that bore out the vaccination the world is using to fight the current pandemic.
