Healthcare must be an inalienable right and must be treated as such. This will only be realized if we find a balance between for profit free market services and not for profit government services. As a free market society we are well aware that our innovations in medicine are second to none specifically because we understand that potential for profits lends itself to investments in our medical industry. Private healthcare insurance is the one sector in our vast healthcare system that does not require any innovation of consequence but is responsible for siphoning up to 30% of our healthcare cost.
