The great thing is, health care has been such a study in what can go wrong with free-market capitalism that it's nice to see a counter-example.

Free-market capitalism? It's highly regulated, subject to inconsistent taxation, and over 50% of care is bought by the government...

Wow, I wonder why that is? It's almost as if tempestn is referring to a time before the situation we currently find ourselves in that brought about the high level of regulation, inconsistent taxation, and 50% of care being provided via government purchasing.
It's almost as if somewhere in the middle between over-regulation and no regulation at all might be prudent...
