"That argument of free market doesn't work with insurance. "--Nonsense.  Healthcare insurance existed for many years before prices began their exponential increase in the 1960s.  We don't have a competitive market because we have no price transparency for the services we use.  Yet every time this subject is broached, supporters of single-payer healthcare disingenuously cite procedures at the margins--the *exact* sort of procedures insurance, by definition, is designed to cover--rather than address normal preventative needs that could easily be reduced 50-80% just by requiring providers to post a .pdf of these costs on their website.
