What? You don't like the free market?
If what we've seen is actually the free market, then no.
Yes that's the free market: all the big players make a cartel and fuck everyone else.
The free market is one idea, but how about legislation to force insurance companies to pay out for illnesses that natural born human beings get and stop screwing Americans.
But then it wouldn't be a free market, what are you some kind of commie?!
The free market is supposed to be about competition, that's why basically every industry in the US is made up of 3-5 mega corps that collude together to fuck Americans.
Insurance industry is like a 500m sprint where every runner has agreed to only walk. Hence nobody has better service, no innovation, costs are high and customers lose out.
