Interesting listening to all the cable channels and the politicians they interview,

everybody has a solution to health care. The ACA, which by the way was a conservative concept, a market based system born right out of the Heritage think tank, obviously isn't going to get the amending that it needs, so it assumingly isn't going to work, leaving us with the question if the next "solution" is anymore feasible.

I'd say no, largely because, as most developed nations in the world have realized years ago, the free market system can not handle health care. Smith's laws of supply and demand and the invisible hand do not relate in a market were the product is totally inelastic and price can not be controlled. This notion that competition is going to reduce prices doesn't relate, especially in a market dominated by oligopolies.

The free enterprise system can not handle health care, just the mere fact that currently the GOP, single minded in its' quest, and with total control, still can't arrive at a consensus approach
