1. It’s very hard to shop around to find better prices or better service.
2. People often make choices like “Do you want this expensive life saving procedure or not?”
3. The average person isn’t informed enough to understand what their medical treatment needs are. Patients ask doctors what their recommendation is. Doctors often have an incentive to sell the most healthcare they reasonably can.
4. My ability to pay for healthcare is directly tied to my employer. There simply are less jobs that provide good healthcare than people that would like them. My ability to change positions in society is limited by my desire to continue to have access to affordable healthcare. This is practically a freedom limiting mechanism.
5. I’m limited in my choice of which healthcare to purchase based on my Insurance policy. My choice in insurance policy is similar to a suburbanite’s choice in an ISP. I have very few choices.
