In addition to what I wrote in my previous post, I’d like to add this short video from Richard Epstein. He says government has the responsibility to “get out of the way”. (Thanks to David Henderson of EconLog for the link).
His closing:
If we started to unravel that [all the government interference in health care], we would solve many of the access problems caused mainly by our own regulatory ingenuity, which somehow or another, always manages to backfire.
