Think about it. How many companies are there that don't want their customers to actually use their product? Also, what about folks who have pre existing conditions? Free markets = fail as far as providing health care. Health care is a right, not a privilege. Besides Walfart and Bezo's sweatshops don't offer healthcare in any event. I wonder if ClassicXer would support drug imports? That's free enterprise to get more competition for our Big Pharma racket.Actually, health insurance isn't a right or a privilege, it's a commodity. I wouldn't be opposed to importing approved drugs from other country's.
Oh, sorry. You are not into reality...
Then again health care is listed next to food, shelter and retirement. Food is generally considered a commodity, if not other rights? They are not exclusively put in one category only?
