The square peg is the free market and the round hole is health care.
The health of humans does not follow the same rules or conditions of the free market. Reasons---
1) we don't have choice not be sick or accident free.
2) health care professionals make the economic choices, not the end consumer (the patient)
3) Hospital and doctors don't "earn" their business,. they provide them. If a bus load of children gets hit head on by a semi, what did the closest hospital do to earn that business.
3) We all need health care just like we all need protection. It should be free from the profit motive.
4) Making money off of other people's sickness and suffering diminishes the dignity of mankind. The satisfaction of helping others augments the dignity of mankind.
