The false, misleading free-market argument
Part of the logic of this fear is that the United States is a free-market country and must have free-market, purchased health care, even though the United States has functions with our society that are generally not free-market, such as fire departments, education and libraries.
Americans need to know this about free-market, industrialized countries regarding health care:
Every other free-market country in the world has some version of a health-care-for-all system, where:
- Everyone gets care at less than half the cost per person.
- People go to the doctor more than twice as often, meaning that they get more preventive care.
- People live longer lives.
- People live healthier, happier lives due to less pain and suffering, as indicated by fewer avoidable deaths under age 75 due to preventable diseases.
- Everyone has access to health care.
