29. Free-market
Sheesh, it scares the hell out of me to hear "healthcare" and "free market" used together.

If I buy a new detergent and it doesn't clean my clothes very well, gee, I guess I'll have to try something else. I can take my time, not feel pressured to get something RIGHT NOW. Cripes, even if the detergent ruins my clothes, it's just clothes. I can get new ones.

But healthcare? No, you don't always have time or the opportunity to choose treatments at your leisure. And picking the wrong treatment doesn't always mean "no harm done, let's try something else." When lives are literally at stake, I don't want to play the market game. Give me what is shown to work.
