| | I think the first thing to notice here is that the US health care system is far from capitalistic, as it is rife with coercive government intervention. It is immoral in forcing one person to provide, or pay to provide, another's medical care (as in government health insurance or hospitals); it is immoral in forcing patients to abstain from experimental procedures or drugs they wish to try (as in FDA regulations); it is immoral in forcing doctors to not prescribe drugs they and their patients deem useful (as with narcotics and their levels that government officials don't approve of), and on and on. So much coercive, non-capitalistic, rights-violating intervention in what could otherwise be a peaceful, productive, rights-respecting arena.
