When I travel, particularly overseas, I run into a lot of people who are totally confused about the American healthcare system.
For all intents and purposes, they think the United States relies on the free market and that government (at least in the pre-Obamacare era) was largely absent.
So they are baffled when I tell them that nearly one-half of all health expenditures in America are directly financed by taxpayers and that the supposedly private part of our healthcare system is massively distorted by government interference and intervention.
When explaining how government has screwed up private health insurance, I talk about third-party payer and how genuinely private insurance works for home ownership and automobiles. And I cite examples of genuine free markets for cosmetic surgery and even (regardless of your views) abortion.
But from now on, I think I will simply tell people to watch this superb video…
