Medical care that truly is affordable certainly is not given a fair and honest hearing in this country. For politicians, the media, such a situation is anathema. They would rather see a contrived, high-cost system that wastes trillions of dollars in misallocated resources but is subsidized on the back end to give the appearance of being “affordable†and, more important, “equitable.†High-cost “free†medical care is morally superior to low-cost free market medical care, because, well, because it is.
