By now y'all are well aware of my disadain of the for-profit, free-market model of health care.
Here's another example of just how utterly uselss it is. The same kind of thing applies to rare diseases. Get a disease that "only" kills a few hundered people a year? Well, sucks to be unprofitable you.

I so agree - this is just one more example of profit over people. And in the long run it will actually add to expenses if people have to be maintained on ventilators for a snake bite. This is a typical example of penny wise and pound foolish, as the saying goes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome article. Thanks a ton. I love to have ammunition to use when debating with a free-market advocate.
ReplyDeleteGreat article. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love when you pose questions like this to the critics of universal health care or government intervention. When they tout the miracles of the free-market curing all, throw something like this at them and see what they say!
